Carolina Forest International Elementary began the transformation into a global learning environment in 2012. Our purpose was established and still remains strong today. We incorporate our postive behavior system into this purpose by defining how we do that on a daily basis - Stay safe; Orderly, Accountable, and Respectful. This purpose sets the foundational tone for building a comprehensive framework to guide planning (to include our school-wide strategic plan), teaching, assessments, and culture. In 2016, Carolina Forest was named the first NCDPI "model" Global Ready School! To learn about this status, click here. CFIE's strategic planning team and CFIE staff further defined what global learning means at our school. Global learning is defined as "Bringing the world into the classroom by TAKING ACTION to CONNECT locally, nationally, and internationally with REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCES to INFLUENCE POSITIVE CHANGES worldwide."
