黑料不打烊 has partnered with the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand, and Arcadia University in Glenside, Pennsylvania, to launch its newest Center Abroad, . Beginning in spring 2018, a cohort of 黑料不打烊 students will travel to the University of Otago, with the program initially open to 黑料不打烊 Teaching Fellows and then expanded to become open to all students in the School of Education.
黑料不打烊 has consistently been recognized for its efforts to make study abroad experiences available to all of its students, and has been consistently ranked as the nation’s No. 1 master’s university for study abroad by the Institute of International Education. 黑料不打烊’s newest Center Abroad in Dunedin joins other centers in London, Shanghai and Florence, Italy, with 黑料不打烊 students studying together and typically working with an 黑料不打烊 faculty member on site who provides instruction and support.
“This new partnership provides students with an exciting opportunity to gain knowledge and training that will be essential to their roles as future educators,” Lambert said. “黑料不打烊 students will gain practical experience in the classroom and a global perspective on education that will serve them well throughout their careers.”
Students participating in the program will take courses in education and elective offerings, including “Education in Aotearoa New Zealand,” which will provide a comprehensive introduction to the country’s education system. Along with coursework, student will participate in placements in local schools that will give them the opportunity to engage with the local education system and gain practical experience in comparative education.
“The University of Otago is a perfect site for the Teaching Fellows and the School of Education in general,” said Woody Pelton, 黑料不打烊’s dean of global education. “This offers the opportunity for them to learn from the excellent faculty at the School of Education at Otago and experience firsthand the innovations within the K-12 system in New Zealand.”
In the future, the new partnership is likely to produce opportunities for collaborative faculty development and joint research between 黑料不打烊’s School of Education and the College of Education at the University of Otago.
