FelsTED Talks

Today’s guest is Chad Detloff, Director of Professional Learning and Curriculum at the Global Education Benchmark Group. Chad works with educators who want to infuse their curricula, programmes, and schools with education for global competencies. Chad has spent his career seeking to develop self-aware, courageous, empathetic citizens who take on leadership roles to effect positive change in their various, diverse communities.

Chad began his journey in this work as a student, studying abroad in Switzerland in high school and in Argentina and Italy in college. He spent ten years as the Director of Global Programs at Chadwick School in Southern California, where he led a group of faculty and administrators in creating unique indicators of global citizenship–based on the school’s mission and vision–and developed in-class curricula and travel programming to target these competencies.

Chad has worked extensively with student leadership development and has taught a wide array of student-centered, inquiry-based courses in the Humanities and Global Languages disciplines over fourteen years in the classroom.
