Ghana: Exploring Education and the Environment Across the Globe
(EDU 251) Within a community-based framework, students will observe and analyze another culture from the inside. In response to specifically framed journal questions, students will have the opportunity to enhance their critical thinking skills and written communication. Collaboratively, students will choose content topics of focus and develop hands-on activities that address appropriate curricular objectives. Students’ culminating work will be the implementation of their activities in a rural Ghanaian school. In addition, students will have the opportunity to learn about the culture as they interact with family members in their homestays, teach outside the city of Accra, and tour local/regional sites.
