The
Hope College Education Department is committed to offering
a full range of off-campus experiences, both domestic
and foreign, for our prospective teachers. Among the
options is an exciting opportunity to travel to Liverpool,
England, where Elementary, Secondary and Special Education
program students will teach in British schools and take
courses from their Hope professors.
While
in Liverpool, the Hope students will reside and board at
Liverpool Hope University, a sister college with which
Hope has had a long and fruitful relationship. The city of
Liverpool
served as the “2008 Cultural Capital of Europe” and
provides many off-campus activities. Additionally, students
will take weekend trips to London and Edinburgh, Scotland,
which includes an excursion to the Highlands. As the student
comments below attest, you will not want to miss this opportunity! |

Imagine
a month of being fully immersed in British culture…living,
traveling, observing, and teaching in the rich history and
culture of England. Imagine further a great opportunity of
learning available across the sea for Hope Secondary students.
The opportunity to take Secondary Principles in Liverpool is
not just imaginative, but a reality and a curious way to stretch
yourself as a student and educator. The Liverpool May Term
allowed me to see the vastness of education beyond the confines
of my own frame of reference and a glimpse of what teaching
in another part of the world is. Let your imagination run wild
and consider the world of education in Liverpool. Ryan – Secondary,

| The May Term in Liverpool greatly
broadened my perspective in many ways. I was able to experience
the English school system,
culture, and people while developing my teaching skills. It really
helped me to apply the material I was learning by working side by
side with kids every day. After this trip, I felt more prepared and
knowledgeable about technology, lesson plans, and classroom management
than I did before I went overseas. Anna – Elementary,

Going
to Liverpool was one of the greatest experiences so far during
my time at Hope. Studying
abroad was one thing I knew
I wanted to do; however, once I got to Hope, I knew I wouldn’t
want to leave campus for a semester – so going as a May Term
was perfect. It was awesome to get to experience another country’s
education system in comparison to ours. It’s also a blast to
get to know a group of people so closely. And the professors rock!
GO!

Going
abroad to Liverpool and being immersed in one of their elementary
schools renewed my
passion and excitement for education and teaching.
The students and teachers I worked with were simply amazing. It was
incredible to learn about their educational system, and from my experience,
I came away with strategies and ideas that I want to implement in
my own classroom someday. It was wonderful month that I will never
forget! :) Amy – Elementary, English |
