Twenty-seven Year 2 students in the Faculty of Education Master of Teaching program started departing in January to complete their last term of the program while living abroad. A popular program with students, it allows MT students to experience different cultures and educational systems firsthand. 2001 finds students visiting Japan, China, the Czech Republic, the Bahamas, Bangladesh, France, South Africa, Germany, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Papua New Guinea, Kenya, and Iceland. The opportunities available to students vary each year. The Faculty also has an arrangement with the Aga Khan Foundation that offers year-long opportunities at different countries, where the need exists in a given year.
Students are also able to search out their own international placements.
Perhaps you have an interest or contact in a specific region or country which you want to follow up. The Faculty is flexible and will help students to make sure where they want to visit is a safe and suitable environment. Information on the International Option for current Year 1 students who may be thinking about this opportunity for Term 4 in 2002 is available on this website - please refer to the links at the bottom of this page. The Proposal for International Study outlines what is needed for a student's proposal. Completed proposals for international study must be received by Dr. Hunsberger by the end of June 2001.
