The Watson College of Education, (WCE) at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, is a leader and catalyst for developing internationally and globally competent K-12 teachers and other education professionals congruent with the mission of the North Carolina State Board of Education and UNCW’s Strategic Goals. As part of many international experiences desgined to fulfill the WCE International Studies goals, this fall (December 2015) Dr. Higgins and I (Dr. Parker) will take 5 undergraduates, 1 Master's, and 2 Ed.D. students on the first ever internship to Ethiopia. Students will be enrolled in EDN 455, EDN 595, EDL 644 respectively.
In preparation for the internship, there are three pre-departure meetings. Faculty and students must create a blog and begin researching a topic of interest, which they will present and add to based on their experience in Ethiopia. In Ethiopia we will visit the Deborah School and the Fregnet School. We will go on cultural excursions such as the National Museum of Ethiopia, Ethiopian Merkato, Yod Abyssinia and Born Free Ethiopia.
