Program Description
Travel to Kingston-upon-Thames, England (a borough in the greater London area) where you will spend four weeks engaged in the continuation of your teaching internship as you participate in small and large group teaching under the supervision of educators in Kingston-Upon-Thames elementary, middle, and secondary schools. Your professional and academic development will include field-based teaching, comparative education seminars, dialogue with educators, and numerous cultural education encounters and exchanges. In addition to experiencing the English schools, you are only twenty minutes by train from central London where you can fully immerse in the London Experience as you visit some of the world’s finest museums, famous art galleries, legendary historic sites, renowned theatre and concert venues. For those wishing to travel within the United Kingdom, outside of London, and throughout Europe you are but a short train or plane journey away from all that Europe has to offer.
