The College of Education, Health and Human Services and the Gerald H. Read Center for International and Intercultural Education recently welcomed 19 Fulbright Teaching Excellence and Achievement scholars from Eastern Europe and Central Asia to Kent State.
The international educators are taking part in a high-impact, hybrid in-person and virtual experience focused on teaching and learning in media literacy in K-12. The scholars are partnering with local teachers from Aurora, Kenston, Hudson, Stow-Munro Falls, and Streetsboro to share teaching and learning experiences and promote global-mindedness via co-teaching opportunities.
Local community members have paired with the scholars to share American culture and experience the Kent State community. Under the direction of Amanda Johnson-Toala, Ph.D., and Marty Jencius, Ph.D., the Fulbright scholars will spend six weeks at the KSU Hotel and Conference Center.
This grant is possible through the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs and IREX.
