Hello, and welcome to my blog! I've created this as a way to communicate my summer travels with my friends and family. Since I don't leave until June 19, I'll begin with a mini-background of what I'll be doing this summer.
Who?
- Me! My official title is support person for Global Learning's Summer 2012 Leadership Team.
What?
- Global Learning/Aprendizaje Global
- 18-day training program focused on practices in student-centered education, community organizing, and leadership
- 1 month teaching global affairs, geography, music, culture, environmental studies, and science to elementary schoolchildren
- 3-day program wrap-up
When?
- June 19 - August 8, 2012
Where?
- San Jorge, Nicaragua
- Liberia, Costa Rica
Why?
- Training is bilingual, but I'll be teaching in Spanish. Hooray for improved speaking skills!
- I love kids and teaching.
- I'll be trained in education and leadership techniques, which will be essential if I chose to work for Teach for America in my gap years between college and medical school.
