Edited by Yael Harlap Global Citizenship

To determine what you want to learn through students’ feedback, try this exercise:
1. Review the goals and objectives you have set for your students (perhaps on pp. 40-43). The rest of
this exercise will assume that you have a list of goals and objectives in front of you.
2. Add any unexpressed (or “secret”) hopes, wishes, or goals you have for the students or for your
own development as an instructor.
3. Choose one of your goals, objectives and “secret” hopes. Now think of an activity/lesson/course
or approach to instruction that you intended to meet that goal, objective or hope. Answer the
following question: “What kind of information (data) gathered from students might let me know
how the activity/lesson/course or instruction modeled or fostered global citizenship?”

For example, do you want to know whether your teaching helped students connect course
content with local and global issues? Or whether it encouraged students to consider the
impact of their personal choices? Or whether it inspired them to take action beyond the scope
of the course?
