- Conduct program documentation and evaluation, including data entry, organization, and analysis
- Create social media content to advertise accomplishments and partnerships, and spark interest in the Global Classroom program
- Support the Global Classroom team with additional programs, including training, teacher professional development, community events, and One To World special events
