Graduate Course Announcement - India: Immersion
A 3 credit graduate course offered by the Teach India Project through Cambridge College, MA, from April to August 2015
Includes a travel study tour to India from August 2 to August 15, 2015

Course Description: The purpose of this immersive course is to provide, through a travel study program, the opportunity for K to 12 educators to become sensitized to the needs of multicultural students and prepare to work with an increasingly diverse student population. Participants will travel to India where they will visit schools, observe local teaching methodologies, stay with local families and visit cultural sites.

Participants will have direct contact in real life situations with people who are culturally different from themselves; gain insights into the characteristics of a local community, gain experience of what it is like to be different from most people one is around and reflect on one’s own biases and affective responses. It is expected that teachers will become better prepared to teach culturally diverse students, engage those students’ communities and enhance their careers in the process.
