FOR MIDDLE SCHOOLS:
On the registration form, check the “other” box and let us know what time(s) would work for you and your students. We will do our best to accommodate you.
The best way to support your students in IGlobal is to read your weekly email, discuss any unfamiliar vocabulary, and attend the sessions when possible.
While we have no specific requirements for English proficiency, students with very limited English will benefit most from highly involved teachers.
Every session takes one of the 17 SDGs as its focus and the activities include discussion, games, data collection, and a variety of projects, everything from making a tote bag out of an old t-shirt to writing a theme song for sustainability.
We suggest no more than 30 students for each teacher. Most teachers will bring 10-15 students.
We recognize that students may miss some sessions due to holidays, tests, illness, etc. We suggest that students should be able to attend more than half the sessions, at the very least.
Yes, all students participating in IGlobal will receive a certificate at the conclusion of the term.
Absolutely! Just sign up for EDUC 199.
As an IGlobal teacher, you will be assigned to a working group, or “pod,” of five or six other undergraduates. You will work together to plan and implement the lesson plan for each session.
You do not need to speak a language other than English. If you do speak another language, however, please let us know!
You will be working with other undergraduates to develop research questions, gather data, and write up conclusions. If you join a larger, ongoing project, you may have the opportunity to publish your work in an academic journal. We encourage all undergraduate research teams working in the spring semester to submit their research for acceptance to the Undergraduate Research Symposium held in April each year.
