In this module, I learned how to align assessments with global career-ready practices to better prepare students for a global workforce. I gained an understanding of formative and summative assessments and how to assess internationalized learning outcomes. The Global Career Ready Practice Rubric was particularly helpful for evaluating global competence and employability skills.

I plan to apply these strategies by incorporating diverse assessment tools, like rubrics and reflection activities, into my lessons to encourage critical thinking and global perspectives. This module helped me realize that assessments should not only measure knowledge but also foster skills for a globalized world.

Module 6: Assessment for Global Understanding

On this module I've reaffirmed the distinction between formative and summative assessments. Formative assessments, like ongoing reflections and classroom discussions, are essential for guiding student learning in real-time. They allow us to identify misconceptions, and adjust instruction accordingly. Summative assessments, such as final projects and presentations, serve to evaluate overall learning outcomes at the end of a unit or course.

In my own teaching practice, I've been utilizing signals, reflections, classroom discussions, exit slips, finished products, and presentations. However, I'm eager to expand my assessment repertoire. I'd like to learn more about skills checklists… >>>

Module 5: Internationalizing Your Instruction

The UN Sustainable Development Goals offer a powerful lens through which we can explore global issues and connect them to our curriculum. By integrating them into our lessons, we can guide students in becoming active agents of change and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable world

Faculty Module #4: Course Planning for Internationalization

I've gained a deeper understanding of the crucial role course planning has in preparing students for a globalized world. I've learned that it's not simply about adding international content, but about fundamentally shifting the pedagogical approach. I will actively seek out and integrate diverse perspectives and case studies into my lectures and readings.
 

The class project and individual assessments (quizzes) seem like a great way to implement the global rubrics.

 learned several strategies on how to create an international component in my class utilizing the SAGE method.  I need more practice in this area.

This seems like DEI training which is being discontinued across the nation.

The information and examples I learned helped me to understand why students having diverse backgrounds is important. The core skills is what will make the students ready for the global stage.

What I've learned from this course is that this helps our students with different backgrounds have an understanding of what the workforce can be like and show that there are opportunities everywhere if you put your mind to it. With all the resources we have, we can help our students develop and have equal opportunities just like the next person.

This engaging diverse students module provided me with valuable insights into the importance of creating inclusive, supportive, and engaging learning environments for students from various backgrounds. I learned that understanding students' unique experiences, cultures, and learning styles can significantly enhance classroom participation and academic success. Moving forward, I plan to apply these strategies by incorporating culturally responsive teaching practices, fostering open communication, and using diverse instructional methods to meet the needs of all learners. Additionally, I will prioritize building strong relationships with students to create a sense of belonging and support their growth both academically and personally.
