Hello, Rashema. I am Nerisa, a member of the peer review team for Participate. I work at the elementary school here in North Carolina. I will be reviewing your Learning Product for You Belong Here: Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning in a Global Classroom. I am looking forward to working with you in this module. You have started a collection that was sufficient to support you to accomplish the goals of this module. I suggest that you continue to look for resources at Participate collection because there are ample collections that you can add or create as your own so that you can refer from time to time to enhance your global teaching and learning activities with your students. I love the excitement that I have anticipated in your students as they engaged and enjoyed themselves exploring and investigating the traditional music they have studied and as evidenced by your student work and student reflection. I admired you for being able to successfully made this as a high engagement activity with your students in the class. I bet that you have stimulated their personal taste in music and the dance associated with it. I hope that you have provided them with enough opportunities so that they can appreciate the different kinds of music that will allow them to examine themselves and be aware of how music can represent their personal identities and cultural background. I love to see the positive response of your students based on your student work and student reflection. Have you enable your students to dig deeper the meaning of the songs or what does a song represent to the lives of the individuals in the country being studied so that they will be more curious and think deeply so that they can conduct an introspection into their lives and find out their own perspectives of the song and how does the dance been associated with the song? I like that you were able to let your students discover how are cultures can also be influenced by music or dance that depict the diversities of people's character traits and personal identities and background. I am also glad that you have the desire to convey to your students the importance of preparing them to be knowledgeable about the world because in this way you become stronger in your quest for finding ways and strategies to develop your students to become culturally responsive environment learner as you continue to utilize an inquiry-based learning approach in your teaching and learning activities. Congratulations! I am glad to award you a badge for this module. Please continue to be motivated by your own aspiration to improve your practice to enhance your students' global competencies.

I will be reviewing your Learning Product for You Belong Here: Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning in a Global Classroom. I am looking forward to working with you in this module.

I suggest that you continue to look for resources at Participate collection because there are ample collections that you can add or create as your own so that you can refer from time to time to enhance your global teaching and learning activities with your students. I appreciate you for being able to lead your students successfully to accomplish the goals of this module as evidenced by your student work and student reflection. I can tell that you have exposed them to a wide variety of opportunities using “My Multi-Cultural Self” graphic organizer and KWL chart to particularly focus on understanding what a stereotype is and the differences within cultures. I hope that you have given them the chance to share among themselves their findings and reflection about the intricacies of cultural diversity in that way they will be able to conduct an introspection into their lives to know how to behave themselves when prompted with situations and circumstances involving other people in the community, society and the world in general. It was notable that you also have unraveled to your students the significance of understanding, accepting and appreciating the idea or the danger of a "single story" that was prevalent global issue/situation for people in other countries especially in the third world countries or poor countries in the world. As you stress this situation to your students, you will be able to stimulate their empathy toward other people in the world who were not that privileged compared to the most people in the United States. I love that you were able to consider this lesson as a valuable learning experience for your students to broaden their understanding and perspective on cultural diversity. It was also nice to hear that your students had a nice conversation with their families about their cultural backgrounds and I like that you found it a very enriching and great learning opportunity for the children to come up with great ideas and information they have shared with their families. Good job, Karen! Congratulations! I am glad to award you a badge for this module. Please continue to mold your students to develop their global competencies. |
Hi, Dasha. I am Nerisa, a member of the peer review team for Participate. I work at the elementary school here in North Carolina. I will be reviewing your Learning Product for Ask About the World: Global Inquiry. I am looking forward to working with you in this module. Thanks.
Currently, I was not able to access your lesson plan. Please check the privacy status or permission setting in your google doc and make sure to share it with "Anyone who has the link can view". Thanks. I can see that you have started a collection for this module. I suggest that you continue to look for resources at Participate collection in conjunction with your lesson to be able to strengthen your stack for this module because there are ample collections that you can add or create as your own so that you can refer from time to time to enhance your global teaching and learning activities with your students. I commend you for being able to connect your Math lesson with Math around the world particularly when you focus on the Japanese way of multiplying. I learned that the Japanese kids learn to multiply with a completely different method compared with our students. It's amazing that Japanese math magic is more of a visual technique where you draw lines and count the intersections. It was evident in your student work and student reflection that you have successfully conveyed this procedure to them. I can see that they draw lines on the diagonal to represent the numbers of the first number to multiply, then mingle those lines with the other number's lines then add up the intersections for each area, and you have the correct total. It's really fascinating how or why this method works. But it's a pretty amazing trick and might make you wonder why we don't teach math the way Japanese teachers do. I bet your students were excited to perform this method and I hope that you were able to strengthen their interest and curiosity and will allow them to think deeper which can also motivate their creativity on things they want to explore more and find out about the underlying traditions or culture depicting from the origin of this method by the Japanese people. This is a great way for your students to conduct an introspection into their lives and realize how people can connect to each other by the way we do things uniquely but with the same application of our lives. I am glad that this lesson has given you great ways to incorporate different cultures in your classroom and I suggest that you keep your students engaged and continue using an inquiry-based learning with your students to develop their curiosity and global awareness because there is no easy best practice but only to become better through more exposure to the implementation of the global competencies. Just keep motivated to do what you can do to improve your practice. Congratulations! I am glad to award you a badge for this module. Please continue to mold your students to develop their global competencies. Good job, Dasha!

Hi, Dawn. I am Nerisa, a member of the peer review team for Participate. I work at the elementary school here in North Carolina. I will be reviewing your Learning Product for Ask About the World: Global Inquiry. I am looking forward to working with you in this module. Thanks.
Thank you for your patience! You have started a collection that was sufficient to support you to accomplish the goals of this module. I suggest that you continue to look for resources at Participate collection because there are ample collections that you can add or create as your own so that you can refer from time to time to enhance your global teaching and learning activities with your students. It was evident in your student work and student reflection that you have successfully led your students to explore and investigate some symbols around the world particularly comparing and contrasting the North Carolina symbols with Oceania. I like that you have enabled your students to be curious and be able to develop intercultural awareness through the symbols they have studied and this will also help them think deeply of how these symbols have represented the countries studied as well as for North Carolinian. I am glad that you were able to focus on the importance of the national pride of other countries associated with the countries symbols being studied to discover a deeper understanding of other cultures and traditions. I was wondering if you were able to touch base other national symbols we have in the United States which are also valuable and very significant for your students to conduct an introspection of their lives about their own perspectives of how those symbols represented the citizens' honor, pride, history, and cultural heritage. I appreciate your honesty that you need to improve some aspects of your teaching and learning activities with your students but I am pleased that you were able to keep them engaged and they learned something from your lesson. I suggest that you continue using an inquiry-based learning with your students to develop their curiosity and global awareness because there is no easy best practice but only to become better through more exposure to the implementation of the global competencies. Just keep motivated to do what you can do to improve your practice. Congratulations! I am glad to award you a badge for this module. Please continue to mold your students to develop their global competencies. Good job, Dawn!
