Engaging Diverse Students
In this module, I have learned the importance of integrating global competence and social justice into Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs to better prepare students for an increasingly international workforce. As an agriculture teacher, this knowledge is particularly relevant because agriculture is a global industry that relies on diverse cultural perspectives, international trade, and sustainable practices.
By applying the Global Social Justice Framework, I plan to incorporate lessons that highlight the global impact of agriculture, such as food security, sustainable farming practices, and ethical considerations in agribusiness. Additionally, I will strive to understand and integrate my students’ diverse experiences into my teaching, ensuring that all students feel represented and empowered in their learning. Through hands-on projects, discussions on global agricultural issues, and exposure to different farming techniques from around the world, I can help students develop both technical skills and a broader understanding of their role in the global agricultural community.
Ultimately, this module has reinforced my commitment to fostering an inclusive, globally aware classroom where students are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in the evolving agricultural industry.
