Dispatches from the Field
Educational Vision At Work;
Connecting Theory to Practice in the Field
2011 Trips
Our students spend about five weeks each year connecting theory to practice in the field. These trips outside of the classroom may include putting on a Shakespeare production, visiting Washington DC, studying Spanish in Costa Rica, traveling to India, backpacking in the Cascades, or kayaking the local waters.
The trips increase in duration, complexity and challenge as the students age and mature, particularly in how they are linked to classroom projects and assignments and in the level and kind of shared community service.
The following blogs for 2011 are from students in Asia and Costa Rica:
