After reviewing the teaching module, (a) determine which international content, including source country, theme, and multimedia resources will enhance your course and its subject matter, and (b) identify additional resources according to your goals.
Design a lesson using teaching methods that are compatible with the current structure of your course (e.g., group activities, research, etc.) and establish learning objectives (e.g., global and intercultural competence, comparisons of social work practice approaches across countries, etc.).
Implement the teaching module in your course (e.g., stimulate student interest in the content, relay the significance of the content and its connection to the subject matter of the course, and facilitate learning and determine mastery using tools such as Bloom's Taxonomy).
