These materials are the result of a Curriculum Improvement Grant-funded collaboration between faculty from INTO Mason, CHSS, and Mason Korea. The project aimed:

1) To integrate and align civic engagement and antiracist and inclusive excellence (ARIE) learning goals throughout the Undergraduate Pathways curriculum

2) To redesign key courses to ensure that they suit the linguistic and cultural needs of International Pathways students and direct entry international students at both Fairfax and Mason Korea campuses

We will share a curriculum map of revised Learning Outcomes along with sample assessments and activities tailored to the needs of international and multilingual students. Our redesigned courses help international pathway students engage in campus conversations around racism, equity, and inclusion, and civic life, and develop a sense of belonging to the Mason community.

These materials may be useful for all ranks of instructors redesigning their curricula, course syllabi, and Learning Outcomes to meet the new Global Contexts or Just Societies requirements for Mason Core and any instructors teaching to diverse backgrounds of students in a multi-cultural environment. Viewers will see an example of scaffolded learning outcomes, assessments, and activities related to antiracism and inclusive excellence and civic engagement tailored to culturally diverse students.
