Artifact Name: Global Studies Presentation
Date: December 2018
Course: EDUC 101 Intro to Teaching
​
Description: In this assignment I researched a foreign country and their education system. Through the use of a Powerpoint I presented information about the country such as culture, government structure, and religion. I also explained the country's educational structure and how it compared to our own.
Rationale: To better develop my understanding of standard #2 learning differences, I chose my Global Studies Presentation project. Through this project I was able to gain valuable insight on a culture different to my own and how their education system works. This allowed me to understand how different cultures vary and ways I could ensure inclusivity in the classroom to help each learner be able to meet high standards.

Rationale: To better develop my understanding of InTASC Standard #2, I chose my Service Learning Project in EDUC 233. Through this time I was able to experience individual differences in an urban setting. One of our main objectives was to make sure all students felt safe and included so they could achieve their study and homework goals.
