Internationalizing Teaching and Learning

• To achieve the University of Minnesota strategic goals for internationalization specifically of the curricula and student learning outcomes
• To support University of Minnesota colleges and campuses in their efforts to internationalize the curricula

With regard to internationalizing the curricula, 6 to 8 participants per cohort will together explore knowledge and resources to enhance their teaching, student learning, and course content in the following ways:

1. Developing the Academic Self

• Identify their current teaching perspectives and assumptions about learning, and explore new ways of thinking about how they teach an internationalized course
• Develop intercultural communication strategies and skills to enhance their teaching and develop student learning
• Explore the complexity of intercultural perspectives that may impact curriculum development, such as indigenous views of the subject matter

2. Identifying Student Learning Outcomes

• Identify and integrate the global competencies and learning outcomes that are appropriate for their disciplines and curricula (emphasis on knowledge, skills, and attitudes) into their course

3. Expanding Teaching Strategies

• Gain strategies for creating an open-minded, respectful, and safe learning environment for all students
• Identify ways of presenting course content that is more inclusive of international, global, and intercultural perspectives
• Develop teaching strategies that enable students to integrate/assimilate new international, intercultural and global knowledge
• Learn strategies for integrating international students into the classroom, specifically to increase cross-national interactions between U.S. and international students

4. Developing Materials, Activities, and Assessments

• Diversify course readings/materials to incorporate global, international, and intercultural perspectives
• Incorporate activities, assignments and assessments that increase global, international, and cultural knowledge, attitudes, and skills
• Identify appropriate technology uses to internationalize the course
