The document describes the VIF Badging System for designating teachers as globally ready. It discusses VIF's Global Schools Network program which recognizes teachers, schools, and districts as global-ready through online professional development modules. Teachers can earn badges by completing these modules in four learning spirals focused on global competence. The badges are stored in the teacher's Mozilla Backpack profile and can be shared. The goal is to prepare students for the world through globally focused teaching.
