Report on Exxon Education Foundation-Funded Project to Increase International Dimensions of Community College Curricula.
Spitzer, Manon
A description is provided of a project conducted by Universities Field Staff International (UFSI) to increase the international dimension of community college education in the Northeastern U.S. through a series of faculty and curriculum development workshops. Section I defines the origins of the project, describing community college interest in the comprehensible, non-jargony, and cross-disciplinary materials offered by UFSI; and highlighting previous community college efforts in internationalizing the curricula and initial planning meetings. Section II presents the project's goals, assumptions, and accomplishments related to: (1) the development of an awareness of and commitment to international education among community colleges in the northeast; (2) the stimulation of community college faculty interest in adding an international component to their teaching; and (3) the development of curriculum materials and learning modules that could be added to existing courses. In section III, project activities are summarized, with focus on particular programs at participating colleges. Finally, section IV offers conclusions and recommendations for further work in this field. A descriptive brochure on the UFSI is appended. (AYC)
