Asia Society Global Competence Content Area Matrices
The Asia Society describes their Global Competence Matrix as the following:
Global Competence is the capacity and disposition to understand and act on issues of global significance. Global Competence can be developed within any discipline, and it can cut across disciplines. The seven global competence matrices — one main matrix and six content--area matrices -help teachers and students understand Global Competence and how to apply it. The main Global Competence matrix provides detail about the overall defnition of Global Competence and how it might be demonstrated by students.. The six content--aarea matrices supplement the main matrix with additional information and perspectives relevant to each content area and its objectives and offer teachers and students a way to look at global competence through the different content area lenses. For teachers, the content--aarea matrices outline essential skills and concepts (big ideas) that connect the discipline with an application of global competence within and beyond the classroom.. Each matrix can be used to guide teachers in designing lessons and developing assessments for student work. For students, the content- area matrices identify specifc strategies for using the subject area’s big ideas to understand the world and using the world to understand the big ideas of the subject area — for developing and applying the discipline’s big ideas in a global context.
World Savvy provides a great framework to help your students understand global competency. I highly recommend to edit the work depending on the grade level for the students.

Highly recommended as this will not only let you know what areas you should continue to work towards, but also highlighted the areas where you are already proficient in global education.
