Assessment tools
Did my lesson promote global education competencies?
Did the students become more aware of the perspective from which someone from another country would approach the issue?
Did the students gain a richer understanding of the value of the contributions made by people from other parts of the world?
Are the students more aware of their personal biases?
These are just a few of the questions we must ask ourselves when developing an effective global education lesson or unit. There are many assessment tools that may be utilized to assess various areas of a global education program. Below you will find hyperlinks to a variety of global assessment tools.
