Tools for Assessing Intercultural and Global Competence
These assessments are used to measure knowledge, perceptions, and skills for teaching global perspectives in our students.
The Global Perspectives Inventory offers a self-reported way to measure an individual's global perspective in regards to the cognitive, intrapersonal, and interpersonal dimensions of global learning and development. It also captures a person's views on the community and level of involvement in selected curricular and co-curricular activities.

- The Intercultural Development Inventory is a reliable, cross-culturally measure of intercultural competence adapted from the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity. This tool can generate an in-depth graphic profile of an individual's level of intercultural competence along with a detailed textual interpretation of that level of intercultural development and associated transitional issues. I believe that this inventory is best suited by assessing student work in my District, as it involves a graphic profile, intercultural development and transitional issues. It is a reliable method of measuring intercultural competence across the board and I believe it would be effective.
- The Global Competencies Inventory is designed to assess competencies critical to interacting and working effectively with people who are from different cultures. The inventory measures 17 competencies in three categories of intercultural adaptability, including perception management, relationship management, and self-management.
