For the past ten years, the IU Southeast School of Education has offered the Explorations of Diversity Education Program, lead by Dr. Magdalena Herdoíza. This has taken place every summer in Ecuador. |
We have established on-going
partnerships with P-12 Quito schools: América Latina (private), Quitumbe , and
Bicentennial (public). |
|
|
This is a summer program lead by the IU Southeast School of Education. It
focuses on education and cultural issues with a “hands-on” immersion
approach as well as an interdisciplinary perspective. |
It includes 9 pre-departure seminar sessions and 21 days in Ecuador (Summer
I term). |
The program articulates teaching, inquiry and service learning. This affords opportunities for students to compare and contrast the education systems of Ecuador and the United States, explore topics of their interest, positively impact a community, as they learn about the people, the culture, and the environment in Ecuador. |
Education majors will be able to identify and reflect on aspects of the
Hispanic culture that need to be considered when educating children from
this background in the United States; and inspire creative ways to integrate
multiple cultures in their teaching. Other majors will be able to make
connections between their respective field of expertise and their new
cultural knowledge. |
