World View Study Visit to Costa Rica
The goal of the study visit is to help educators become leaders for global education by looking beyond the borders of North Carolina and experiencing a culture, country, and people different from their own. Educators will learn about Costa Rica's education system, the Spanish language, development and environmental issues by exploring significant cultural and historical sites and interacting with Costa Rican families. This study visit is a unique and challenging professional development opportunity---not your typical tourist trip! Knowledge, strategies, and experiences gleaned from the study visit, as well as the Latin America and North Carolina seminar and the follow-up workshop will give participants the ability to add global content to their teaching and help their schools and colleges become more global in focus.
