Created by participants in the 2015-17 Center for Engaged Learning research seminar on integrating global learning, the statement highlights key findings from multi-institutional research on high-impact study abroad and off-campus domestic study.

The statement notes specific working principles about global learning, based on findings from five multi-institutional teams’ research. The working principles are:

• Global learning is a lifelong developmental process that transcends location and bounded experiences.

• A consistent, campuswide definition of global learning facilitates cohesive institutional practice.

• The process of global learning requires intentional, explicit, integrative, and increasingly complex practice.

• Quality, intentionally constructed global learning can lead to change regardless of setting.

• Effective educators should take into account how learners’ prior global experiences impact learning in subsequent opportunities.

• Educators are themselves global learners and also benefit from intentional facilitation and support at all phases of their teaching and learning.

• Ultimately, multiple, scaled, and varied integrative global learning benefits learners and institutions.

Enabling practices are also presented in the statement, including ways to develop global learning competencies for off-campus contexts.
