As an Orthopedic Technology instructor, I have found it beneficial to incorporate global perspectives into my instruction. I have included discussions on differences in healthcare access, orthopedic treatment practices, and the availability of specialized medical services in different countries. By connecting these topics to our classroom discussions and hands-on learning activities, students gain a better understanding of how poverty, education, and access to healthcare can impact orthopedic patient care around the world. This approach helps students develop a broader perspective while preparing them to care for patients from diverse backgrounds.

I've learned more ways to incorporate globalization into graphic design instruction. I didn't think of many of the ways to do it, but the "GREAT" idea board was a big help.

We often use the SDGs for some work we do with educators, particularly around making and engineering. However, using these as a way to help the future teachers I work with seems like a good strategy too. I think that helping them to consider how they can incorporate SDGs into projects they'll run with their students can help them to make that bridge. 

I learned how SDGs can be incorporated into what I already teach. I plan to connect topics in developmental psychology to SDG 3 on well-being and SDG 4 on education.

I have two assignments in my American II online course that can flex to increase student awareness of the UN goals outlined in Module 5. One assignment requires the students to pick a term research project and conclude by creating a Power Point to communicate their findings to their classmates. My thoughts for possible term project topics are - so far - comparing US and Canada world educational rankings and researching the reasons for the substantial differences; or comparing US and Canada criminal justice systems and again, discussing the differences.

The second possible assignment is their Final Essay and I… >>>

I plan to incorporate some of the Sustainable Development Goals in my classroom such as:

Responsible consumption and production

Decent work and Economic Growth

These align with my Graphic Design courses.

In Spanish for Health professions, I think that understanding being culturally competent is very important to ensure that patients trust the medical professionals and adhere to the treatment. 

Since I teach Anatomy and Physiology, I've found it quite beneficial to internationalize my instruction.  So far, I've tied in topics of differences in health policy and access to proper healthcare into my reinforcement activities.  To aid in providing a different perspective to my lessons.

I learned about how important it is to engage all students in the class, not just some. I think putting this into the framework of the class is very important but it's kind of hard to think about it. It's such a big topic, conceptualizing it is difficult.

This module was more difficult for me. I still don't quite understand the wording to internationalize my course objectives and course description. The Global competence I am incorporating is communicating ideas. I am adding it by saying that we are investigating how other cultures and countries interpret graphic design.
