Engagement Description

Since I hope to work to improve/revamp an already created course, I know that students will have to select an issue that corresponds to one of the 17 SDGs. However, in the past, most students chose topics related to homelessness and/or environmental sustainability.

Experience

Yes. Last year I designed and taught "Engaging San Diego in Global Issues" where students created and carried out social impact campaigns aimed at addressing a chosen Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) on a local level. The class was a success, students loved it, but I am looking for ways to increase its impact moving forward.

Interest

I am very interested in learning from and with likeminded educators who are striving to build courses and program that cultivate civic mindedness and engagement among students. I also have designed and teach a "social impact campaign" class, however, having developed it entirely on my own, I would be very eager to get support and insights from more accomplished practitioners.
