With the pressure to globalize curricula in support of greater learning opportunities, teachers can be easily intimidated by starting from square one or frequently inundated with ideas and issues to incorporate into a global classroom. By creating and implementing (from scratch!) a framework centered on human rights and globalization, achieving global learning can be both manageable and meaningful. This presentation offers effective strategies and perspectives on structuring a global curriculum and classroom that allows for engagement with global issues and a skills-based understanding of news media, research, and writing. What’s more, by integrating service-learning into distinct moments of the curriculum, students practice problem-solving and engage in real-world solutions for global issues. This presentation will also offer ways to easily incorporate service-learning into the classroom, as well as suggestions for resources and readings to undergird coursework.

ROFFEKE UN world education day 2020 - Report by Wangari KabiruMildred Achoch
"When ROFFEKE extended the invitation to speak on the trio topic "education, environment and mental health" at the #EducationDay 2020, the trio would already make a full day's talk when dissected individually. This is just the beginning of the discourse as we need more instances for this convergence of minds and especially the take-away to amplify to our respective audiences, local communities, governments and decision makers. Thank you ROFFEKE for the invitation to be part of what I enjoy more and especially during the UN International Day of Education 2020 (#EducationDay) "in celebration of the role of education for peace and development'.
My context of #edumental stems from the joy of fullness of life, which is without ration for every person." - Wangari Kabiru.

Child care is a now a way of life for many of America’s young children, but this has not always been the case. In 1960, only about 10% of the 3- and 4-year-olds in the United States participated in a preschool (pre-K) program outside of their home. By 1970, twice as many 3- and 4-year-olds had enrolled in preschool, and by 1990 participation in preschool had doubled again to about 40% of all 3- and 4-year-olds. We know more mothers were working full time in 1990 than had been in 1960, but that is not the only explanation for the increased demand for early childhood education. Other factors, including the trend toward small.

Industrial Analysis for the LA Unified School District, Norwood Elementary Health Fair. The proposal provides a design for the layout of this health fair measuring the playground area and surrounding buildings so that we could create a base map to scale. This was used in conjunction with the list of expected exhibitors to attend the fair. Using this information, we decided where and how to place them. These choices take into consideration such factors as traffic flow, ease of setup, proximity of similar exhibitors, visual appeal, privacy for certain services, and adaptability issues.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Tikhuba clinic is an
unremarkable,
low-slung, alum
inum
-roofed building on
a
dusty patch
of ground
in a remote part of
Swaziland. But for many local families, it is
the place of miracles.
On
a windy
summer
morning, more
than a dozen wom
en held children on their
laps in a small waiting area under flickering
fluorescent lights. Babies’ cries
competed
with
mothers’ whispers. A few toddlers
surveyed
the scene with
wary eyes. Other
little
ones sat slackly against their moth-
ers, looking on impassively, too weak to be
curious.
Several of
the children suffered from
severe
acute malnutrition,
a persistent
and deadly condition
in this tiny, drought-
plagued country
in Southern Africa. Rising
food prices have compounded the problem,
taking a grim
toll on
Swaziland’s young-
est. In 2007, as the country
experienced its
worst drought in 15 years, UNICEF worked
with
the government to
establish
com-
munity-based
feeding centers throughout
Swaziland.
One of these centers was set up
at the
Tikhuba clinic. Here, malnourished children
are given lifesaving, nutrient-packed thera-
peutic foods — delivered
to the clinic by
UN
ICEF in collaboration with its partners —
that help them
recover and regain weight.
After a child has been treated, nurses moni-
tor his or her progress, measuring weight,
height, and arm circumference.
Gabsile Mamba believes the clinic’s staff
saved her infant son’s life. The little
boy,
named
Siyabonga and then
less
than
a
year old, had worrisom
e symptom
s: vom-
iting, diarrhea, and rapid weight loss. “ At
one point, I thought he was going to die,”
said his twenty-two-year-old mother.
She rushed the baby to the clinic, where
he
was diagnosed with
severe acute mal-
nutrition. Nurses prescribed
Plumpy’nut
® ,
a ready-to-use, high-energy peanut paste
A global food crisis and a faltering economy have put more children
at risk of starvation and disease. UNICEF is responding with
lifesaving therapeutic foods and a comprehensive nutrition strategy.

Unit 5 - Essential Questions
• What causes poverty? How do hunger and malnutrition connect to poverty?
• What are some ways in which people are working to combat hunger and malnutrition?
• What is microfinance? How does it affect people in developing countries?
First define hunger/malnutrition, then read about direct resolution for hunger in Plumpy Nut
Then discuss micro finance as an indirect resolution to hunger as it helps to alleviate poverty by equipping individuals with economic resources necessary to start businesses
Us - them dichotomy
At this point, you might be thinking - why micro finance?
2.5Bn people without access to financial institutions - 80% live on under $2/day
Economic empowerment and education as means to alleviate poverty
Improving access to responsible financing leads to increased income, improved health and education, allows children to attend school at higher rates (pay dues)
Especially powerful means for women
Want to capitalize on our existing partnership, add a different layer/facet
