Other great resources I've found for Global Education
Belouga is a self-faced, subject-aligned, interactive site for students to learn about the world in a fun, personalized, and collaborative way. There are lessons on every global topic, lessons are easy for students to navigate, and provide grading all in one place. Students get information from images, photos, graphs, videos, and sound clips then respond to discussion questions. It's an excellent resource for independent work or virtual learning.
The Asia Society is a network of global educators across the globe. There are lessons and units provided by Asia Society for paying members, but the Global Ed Explorer is a sharing site for teachers to add their own material and find other global lesson resources.

Importance of Name Pronunciation
(Borrowed from Adriane Geronimo, Fulbright TGC2020)
In globalizing learning experiences for my students I often encounter unfamiliar names in languages I can't pronounce. While a live native speaker informant is ideal, these resources have been helpful in guiding me and my students in the pronunciation of names from different languages.

Ending Curriculum Violence
from: Teaching Tolerance
Excerpt:
"In order to reclaim our schools as sites of real learning and safety rather than suffering and racial trauma, it is necessary to help prepare teachers to critically examine what curriculum violence looks like within their discipline. Both prospective and current practitioners should continue to frame teaching as a reflective and reflexive practice by asking important questions of themselves and their curricula. Teachers should have continued support for professional development that is antiracist at its core and includes narratives of joy and resistance."
