Global Student Teaching in Africa

"How can I make a difference...in Africa?"

Economic and political issues strongly affect educational policy and practices in Africa. Those who choose to student teach on this continent will learn the dilemmas educators face...and the strategies they're using to address students' needs throughout the African continent.

GST Country: Ghana, Senegal. Minimum 8-week assignment.


The success of a Global Student Teaching placement, like any supervised teaching experience, depends upon close cooperation among host institution teachers and administrators, university personnel, and each student teacher. These cooperative relationships are fostered through the contacts that student teachers, supervising personnel, and administrators have with one another. Our goal is to assure a successful experience for all participants.
