The AsiaBound Experience: Enhancing cross-cultural awareness for pre-service teachers
This event has already taken place.
Professor Pat Drake, Dean, College of Education, invites you to attend the first seminar in the 2014 Diamond Series.
The Australian government has dedicated considerable financial resources to fund student mobility to Asia to meet the new demands for an Asia capable workforce.
Over the past two years, AsiaBound funding has facilitated pre-service teacher study tours to countries such as China, Timor Leste and Malaysia. Through their involvement in a study tour, pre-service teachers enhance their cultural awareness and their capacity to engage in culturally responsive teaching pedagogies.
Presented by Dr Marcelle Cacciattolo and her colleagues, the presentation will provide an overview of the current AsiaBound study tours that are offered in the College of Education, as well as key benefits to staff and pre-service teachers who have previously participated in the tours.
