The Global Cities seeks an experienced, creative, and tech-savvy Education Program Manager to join its team of accomplished educators who design and implement the Global Scholars virtual exchange program. As part of Global Cities’ collaborative and innovative team, they apply a diverse skillset to create student-centered, project-based curricula, teacher professional development, and a lively e-classroom environment for young people worldwide.

Global Cities, Inc., a Program of Bloomberg Philanthropies, promotes skills that today’s youth require for citizenship in tomorrow’s world. Global Cities has extensive experience using technology to forge connections among students and educators that promote learning, including through Global Scholars, our signature virtual exchange program for public school students. Through the program, students ages 10 to 13 engage in constructive dialogue with peers across the globe in e-classrooms. Their posts, replies, and digital projects are primary texts for them to learn about other cities and perspectives, and how to solve the shared global issue they are studying. Currently, Global Scholars connects over 10,400 students and more than 500 educators in 546 cities around the world.
In addition to operating Global Scholars, Global Cities has conducted research that demonstrates that direct peer-to-peer connections develop the knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors that constitute global competency. What we have learned is relevant to all educators working to ensure every child has access to education that will prepare them for success in a globalized world, and we have an ambitious agenda to share this learning with the next generation of K-12 teachers.
