What activities or practices would you prioritize in your orientation? What are some of the limitations of relying on writing prompts to capture student learning or development? Have you worked with students who seem to have experienced profound shifts but have not yet been able to articulate what they have learned? How might the writing prompts be adapted for students of different ages and/or in different disciplines? This study’s final recommendation calls for collaboration. How might you engage in cultural, disciplinary, and institutional collaborations to enhance global learning? Share:
