Description:
| The Global Routes Teaching Internship Program in Costa Rica has been designed in coordination with community members, teachers and school administrators. Interns live with a family in a rural village, help teach in the village primary school, offer extra-curricular activities and initiate and participate in community service projects. It is not necessary to have a background in teaching or a particular subject area. The first portion of the program is dedicated to preparing interns for their teaching placements. After a couple of days in San José, interns travel to their orientation site at the remote Rara Avis Reserve to work with their in-country director on setting educational goals, lesson planning, teaching strategies and techniques and classroom management. During the teaching placement component of the program, interns teach English, environmental education, math, health, science, geography and/or any other subject, depending on their own skills and interests and the needs of their schools. In addition to teaching, interns are expected to become active members in their communities by participating in community activities. During the final travel component, interns embark together upon a journey of their own design within Costa Rica and/or neighboring countries. Contained within this region are white sand beaches, volcanoes, virgin rainforests, rushing rivers and waterfalls and thousands of species of tropical plants and animals. Global Routes also offers programs in other locations throughout the world including the Navajo Nation Teaching Program.
