Program Description

This is an online, professional learning experience. This 25-week course provides instructors with evidence-based teaching practices proven through independently-validated research to improve student success. Faculty who complete the course earn a nationally recognized Certificate in Effective College Instruction, the only college teaching credential endorsed by the American Council on Education (ACE). The cohort will complete one module per week over 25 weeks during the 2023-2024 academic year, in addition to a monthly in-person/ virtual Cohort Meeting.

Description

A new Faculty Learning Community (FLC) focused on internationalizing/ globalizing the college curriculum can be a valuable opportunity for educators to collaboratively explore, develop, and implement strategies that infuse global perspectives into their teaching. FLC members will be better equipped to internationalize and/or globalize their curriculum effectively, enriching the educational experience for all students and preparing them to thrive in an interconnected and interdependent world.

Description

Throughout the 2023-2024 academic year, we will be engaging with the Critical Internationalization Studies Masterclass, produced by Drs. Santiago Castiello-Gutiérrez and Jhuliane Evelyn da Silva. Through an open-access online library of videos and supplemental resources, this masterclass will invite participants to understand the enduring colonial politics of knowledge while deepening and complexifying their engagements with internationalization in more self-reflexive and socially accountable ways.

What is COIL?

The goal of COIL is to build community among Stan State faculty interested in global issues. COIL enhances faculty understanding of global learning, cross-cultural competency, and online active learning strategies.
