Supporting lifelong learning

Access Global offers free professional development for educators at every career stage. Our workshops, seminars, and institutes help teachers bring global perspectives into their classrooms, whether that means using international children's books in a third-grade lesson or redesigning a university syllabus.

All programs are offered at no cost. Participants earn certified Professional Growth Points they can apply toward license renewal and career advancement.

We work with educators across Indiana and partner with IU's National Resource Centers to make sure the content is grounded in real regional expertise and not generic material.
