This January, four education students will gain a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to student teach abroad thanks to the University's w88 slot membership in the Consortium for Overseas Student Teaching . COST is an invite-only collaboration of 15 U.S. colleges and universities that sends students overseas to teach for 6-15 weeks in one of 16 countries across Europe, Africa, Asia/Oceania, and Latin America. Students gain firsthand international experiences and perspectives, which the program hopes will deepen their confidence, open-mindedness, and self-efficacy as educators.
For Perry Healey, integrated elementary w88 slot major with emphases in English language learners and early childhood w88 slot, the opportunity is exciting.
"I'm most looking forward to seeing how other education systems operate and bringing ideas back to the United States," Healey, who will spend 14 weeks in Auckland, w88 slot Zealand, said.
"I've been working in international w88 slot for a while, and we were lucky enough to get an invitation to join COST," Jennifer Mahon, associate professor of sociocultural w88 slot and program coordinator, said. "Internationalization of w88 slot is a priority for the College of w88 slot."
