A Jamaican Student Teaching Experience: Developing Culturally Competent Educators

For more than two decades, UWW pre-service teachers have participated in an international student teaching experience in Manchester Parish, Jamaica. In Jamaica they learn about Jamaican culture and teaching practices, the people and the students. This experience results in global awareness and cultural competence as they enter their teaching careers.
