Navajo Nation Experience
Most recently, our Â鶹ֱ²¥ students spent three weeks in Newcomb, New Mexico, as part of the Navajo Nation Program. Students learned first hand about culturally-relevant teaching practices from teachers and students in the Tohaali Community School and engaged in co-planning STEM and outdoor-based learning activities.

This two-and-a-half week program guided students as they explored how and why access to STEM is an essential component of education in schools in Indigenous communities.

Student Teaching Abroad Perspective
My favorite parts about student teaching abroad were learning the different curriculum and school routines, connecting with the teachers and teaching students from diverse backgrounds. Duquesne provides so many unique field experiences in different types of schools and communities.
