Hola y Bienvenidos!


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.
