Teachers have the unique opportunity of working with students from diverse cultural backgrounds; however, cultural barriers can often pose a threat to effective learning in the classroom.

The School of Education’s Global Teaching program provides students the opportunity of working in diverse classroom settings enabling them to learn how to more effectively teach across cultures. Our global teaching destinations are strategically selected to involve locations, languages, and cultures connected to the state educational programs – including dual language immersion.
