These courses allow students to reflect about teaching and learning as they look at education through the eyes of Irish educators. Students will become familiar with cultural aspects of Ireland that impact education, will spend mornings for two weeks in Irish schools observing and working with teachers and students. Participants will experience the traditions and culture of Ireland from music and dance to folklore and heritage. Participation in collaborative reflection groups, sharing observations and exploring connections will help tie together each day’s experience. Photo of horse in Ireland

Students can elect to receive three or six semester hours of credit. This credit may be used to meet specific requirements in a program of study, academic concentration, or elective requirements in a program.

For more information regarding meeting times will be available soon.
Meantime, enjoy some pictures I took on a recent trip there.
