Outcomes from the project
My experiential module project focused on redesigning an intercultural curriculum for all Spanish 1 and 2 courses at Okemos High school. The intent was to create these materials and then share them with my colleagues in order to have a shared curriculum that is up-to-date and effective for students. I completed my project over 2 semesters.
During the first semester I focused on creating the intercultural content and curriculum that I would share with teachers. I used resources from our course on intercultural competency, as well as research of my own to create 5 cultural domains and lessons that accompany those domains. These domains were culinary, festivals and celebrations, housing, school and education, and entertainment, pastimes and hobbies.
The second semester was spent designing and creating a website in order to share the intercultural curriculum I developed. I chose to use a Canvas site that is shareable to anyone on the Internet. All of my experiential module materials can be found on this canvas course. In addition to the curriculum materials, you will find papers, videos, and PowerPoints that help guide teachers in using the Canvas course as effectively as possible.
