Drs. Amy Ardell and Meghan Cozier led a June 2022 Greece travel course for Chapman Teacher Education students and provided this description and photos.
Students visited cultural sites such as the Acropolis, Delphi and Delos as well as the island of Mykonos. They also spent three days with teachers, administrators and leaders from American Community Schools (ACS) in Athens to learn about international programs, teacher-led action research and the innovative ACS Athens Youth Program. to-Youth which supports undocumented minor refugees. Chapman teacher candidates also presented their Capstone or Learning Differences projects to panels of ACS Athens teachers and leaders.
We are proud to provide experiences for teacher education candidates to better understand their responsibility to prepare K-12 students to become global citizens. We are grateful for the collaboration with ACS Athens. We would like to thank ACS Athens President Dr. Peggy Pelonis and ACS Athens Institute Dean Carla Tanas for hosting us. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with ACS Athens in the future.
