Global Education Teaching Unit
During the eight-week online course, one of the goals was to develop a teaching unit which made use of globalized standards so as to embed global education within the overall plan of instruction. Using a standard format, each teacher developed a plan related to his/her current teaching assignment(s): World History, Algebra, Biology, state/local history, Sociology, Computer Science, Physics, Trigonometry, etc. Over the eight-weeks various portions of the lesson plan were due and then opportunities for collaborate feedback by fellow TGC participants were provided.
Mr. Burton developed a plan called "Population Demographics" to help his AP Human Geography students 1) research the diversity of the human population throughout the earth 2) recognize a variety of perspectives regarding the meaning of these demographic findings, 3) to develop an argument as to the correlation of population demographics to human development, and 4) to develop an action plan to help the developmental status of developing or under developed people groups. His lesson plan is linked below in PDF format.

Additionally, TGC participants were asked to create some additional lesson plans following their international travel fellowship. These five lessons could be additional elements to be embedded into the larger unit plan prevously created, could be part of an additional unit plan created by the participant, or could be five individual free-standing lessons not clearly embedded into a larger unit. Mr. Burton chose to do a hybrid of these options by creating individual lesson plans which extend the students' learning from the initial unit and building upon one of the major projects of that unit but within the context of later units of study within his AP Human Geography course. These additional lesson ideas are linked below in PDF format.
