Professional
Development
In addition to the many resources
provided at this web site, there are schools and school districts
who want their teachers to receive additional training and
support in the CultureQuest process.
Generally, this training includes one or more of the following:
- working with teachers on approaches to and issues in the
study of culture
- strengthening teachers technology skills and
- developing a deeper understanding of inquiry-based, project-centered
classroom work
The Center
for School Development also is developing an online, three-credit
graduate course for teachers under the auspices of the Center for Global Engagement at Mercy College. Teachers who register for
this course will be taken through their first classroom CultureQuest
and mentored through each of the steps of the program. If
you are interested in learning more about the course, please
contact Dr. Sheila Gersh sgersh@mercy.edu
- For information about workshops in your school or district
The Center will provide a 3-hour orientation about CultureQuest. A follow-up hands- on session can also be held for teachers who are interested in implementing CultureQuest in their class.
If you are interested in attending an orientation or workshop,
please contact Dr. Sheila Gersh at sgersh@mercy.edu
