CI 499 Education in Argentina: Learning to Teach Diverse Students
While we went on many fun adventures during our time in Argentina, this is primarily a STUDY abroad trip where we were representatives of American culture and researchers of Argentine culture. A majority of the students participating in this trip are teacher certification students from the College of Education which allows for the trip to focus on the study of education in another country.
Some of the overall goals for participants of the trip (taken for the attached syllabus) are:
Students will be required to write various reflections and post them online throughout the course, to keep diligent classroom observation notes while placed at your school, and to choose a final project to present what you have learned from participating in the trip.
Some of the overall goals for participants of the trip (taken for the attached syllabus) are:
- To provide a cross-cultural experience for future teachers to work with linguistically and culturally different students.
- To encourage a critical and multi-perspectival assessment of the assets of contexts that are socially, culturally, racially, and linguistically different from the students’ own background.
- To help students examine their own biases and prejudices by participating in a culturally different context.
- To understand another country’s approaches to education and the economic and political contexts surrounding schooling in this context.
- To provide direct experiences that will encourage future teachers to be better prepared to globalize their curriculum.
- To provide resources to methods courses as students from this program bring their experiences into senior year certification courses on campus.
Students will be required to write various reflections and post them online throughout the course, to keep diligent classroom observation notes while placed at your school, and to choose a final project to present what you have learned from participating in the trip.
