Engaged international experience is a critical element in building current and preservice teachers’ global competency and cross-cultural skills. However, not all teacher education programs leave room for international experiential learning opportunities.

Faculty and students in the sciences, technology, engineering, art, math, and design disciplines (STEAM'D) are expected to possess global competencies that will prepare them to succeed in their increasingly globalized fields as well. Explore models of integrating global learning into the curriculum and co-curricular activities of the STEAM'D fields to address world problems and learning goals.

Foreign language proficiency and cross-cultural understanding should, ideally, go hand in hand. However, foreign language programs do not always successfully incorporate global learning practices into curriculum and miss the opportunity to help students develop global perspectives. Presenters will discuss their research and practice into the deep learning relationship between foreign language instruction and intercultural competencies.

A Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) learning environment uses innovative technology to integrate global learning into the curricula of students who may be place or time-bound in a cost-effective and potentially measurable way. COIL courses can be launched in all disciplines and facilitate interdisciplinary connections that allow students to make unique insights. Join NAFSA for the fourth session in our six-part Architecture for Global Learning - Series II. Participants will hear from presenters working at the system, campus, or classroom level for the SUNY system, a leader in the COIL field. Explore 'global learning' in the context of COIL and learn how to engage students in "big" problem solving with their international peers.
