New issue highlights global efforts toward better teaching
Dear alumni, students, faculty, staff and esteemed readers,
The spring 2024 issue of our Eagle Edge magazine is here, and I am thrilled to share with you the ways that our vision for expanding horizons and embracing global opportunities has come to life. At the heart of our mission lies the belief that education knows no bounds and that by offering diverse experiences and opportunities, we can empower educators to make a profound impact on the world.
In today's interconnected world, the role of teachers transcends borders. They are not just educators within the confines of a classroom; they are global citizens shaping the minds of tomorrow. Therefore, it is imperative that we equip them with the skills, knowledge and cultural awareness needed to navigate the complexities of a globalized society.
One of the ways we are achieving this is through our commitment to fostering partnerships and collaborations with institutions, organizations and educators from around the world. By working together, we can leverage our collective expertise and resources to provide enriching experiences for both students, faculty and partners.
Through international programs, collaborative research initiatives and cross-cultural teaching opportunities, we are breaking down barriers and creating pathways for learning. These experiences not only broaden the perspectives of our educators but also enrich the educational experiences of their students, ultimately fostering a more interconnected and inclusive PK-12 classroom back home in Wisconsin.
As we continue to expand our global efforts, I am excited to see the impact that our collaborative efforts will have on the future of education. Together, we have the power to shape the next generation of teachers and inspire positive change for our children, families and communities.
Thank you for joining us on this journey of exploration and discovery as you hear firsthand from education majors, faculty, friends and alumni about internationalization at UWL in the School of Education.
In Partnership,
Marcie Wycoff-Horn
Dean, School of Education
