• Mentoring Students by Subtracting Stereotypes while Studying-Abroad: A Case Study
    Posted on January 1, 2013

    Since 2006, undergraduate education students from Texas A&M University have traveled to many countries in Europe and China following intensive preparation courses in which they study and research the literature, art, history, and culture of a particular country.  These trips involve working in schools with students from other countries and touring and visiting sites of historical significance. Students are required to write a reflection on how these experiences have changed their stereotypes of other cultures and helped them to be prepared to teach in diverse settings. These personal stories of their changed beliefs are significant in a global teaching milieu.
