Guiding principles of the center focus on the belief that educators play an important role in helping to construct a better world.  Therefore, center activities support the efforts of educators by offering in-service and curriculum development activities, conferences, courses for educators, library resource materials, and other activities that engage teachers in learning about global issues. 

The Center for World Education library located in 539 Waterman Building on the University of Vermont’s Burlington campus has numerous resources for Vermont teachers, administrators, parents, undergraduate and graduate students.
