Spanish and Cross-Cultural Training for Educators
July 15th to August 4th, 2007
A three-week training program specifically designed for educators, which includes:
- Spanish Classes
- Lectures on Contemporary Issues of International Education
- Site visits in Mexico City
- Hands-on learning experiences through travel in Mexico and interactions with Mexican educators
From July 15 to August 4, 2007, the International Education and Research Center (IERC) offers a special opportunity for educators from schools and universities interested in international, multicultural education to join a unique and exciting training program. The program includes:
Week One: You will receive orientation instructions, a Spanish placement exam, and will initiate with your Spanish classes. During this week, you will visit Mexico City’s historical center, the Basilica of Guadalupe, the Teotihuacán pyramids, as well as private and public schools. Lectures throughout the week will cover topics related to international educational issues faced by educators in Mexico and the US, as well as discussions on cultural realities.
Week Two: You will visit pertinent historical, educational and cultural sites in Puebla and Oaxaca. Your Spanish classes will be held “on the road” and you will be able to apply your knowledge as you travel to these fascinating areas of Mexico. Lectures will include discussions on multi-ethnic and multi-lingual topics with experts in those fields.
Week Three: The last week of the program will again be spent in Mexico City, where your Spanish classes will be combined with additional lectures and site visits, including film and literature discussions and visits to Coyoacán and the Dolores Olmedo museum. Your program ends with a typical Fiesta Mexicana, where you can celebrate all that has been learned throughout this unique experience.
