Mexico: Schools, Language and Culture

This program offers teacher candidates the opportunity to study at Kukulcan Language Community in Cuernavaca, Mexico, approximately 75 minutes south of Mexico City. The two-week experience is both personally and educationally enhancing for the teacher candidates. They live with a family, interact with students and teachers in private and public P-8 schools, bask in the sun during breaks in between Spanish grammar and conversation classes, attend dance, music and cooking lessons, and explore Mexico City, local art museums, as well as nearby archeological sites. During off hours, they practice newly learned phrases as they negotiate their way around the town. As a result of full participation, these future teachers receive one semester hour of credit and ten of the required field experience hours toward certification.
