Three Consequences of Learning Internationally:
1. Limited resources- Internationally there have been a lack of resources available to students in comparison to more developed countries such as the United States. These students are limited in their academic ability to advance in their education.
2. Political- Internationally the political systems differ from the United States so they have a different value on education than other countries. These countries are big on manual labor so being educationally inclined is not a requirement for those type of jobs.
3. Financial- The financial budget of other countries is lower than it is here in the United States. Internationally they have to proportion the funds evenly and ensure that no measure is left out and that is why less money is attributed to education.
A goal that I would have for international awareness is for teachers to be required to be assigned to an international contact each school term. That will help to bounce ideas off of one another and use creative techniques in the classroom. This will also increase awareness of the hardships that are present internationally.
Hi Jasmine,
ReplyDeleteI think that is a great idea for international contacts to be assigned to work with a teaching professional in the u.s each year. We do face some of the sane issues in early childhood and we could definitely learn from each other different methods that may work in the field. Thank you for sharing and it has been a pleasure reading and learning from your blogs this course good luck to you in all your future endeavors in the field and beyond!
