Childhoods & Educ in the Global South: A Research and Program Learning Practicum

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

The Global Childhoods Practicum seeks to provide students with an evidence-based framework and skillset to implement an improvement science approach to research and program learning. Improvement science is explicitly designed to accelerate learning-by-doing. For the practicum aspect of this course, students will work closely with faculty and research mentors involved in our operational programs in the Global South aimed to foster resilience and improve educational and psychological outcomes for children facing adversity (i.e., contexts of deprivation and/or danger). This semester-long practicum will focus on improvement science research and learning agendas in the Global Center for the Development of the Whole Child's (GC-DWC's) operational programs in Haiti and India.
