Post-Secondary Training and Opportunities

Hemispheres works with Colleges and Departments of Education and Educator Preparation, alternative educator certification programs, 2-year colleges, and minority serving institutions that are interested in internationalizing their courses across the curriculum. 

Educator Preparation

We are currently seeking partners for a pre-service educator preparation program that will develop a collection of open source resources to assist with internationalizing courses across the curriculum, from science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), English/Language Arts (ELA), to social studies, fine arts, and vocational fields. The host institution project requirements should fit neatly within existing educator preparation course syllabi.  

We are currently working with the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at Texas State University and the Department of Educator Preparation at Huston Tillotson University, and are seeking additional partners at colleges and universities within the South/Central Texas region.

For more information, please contact us at hemispheres@austin.utexas.edu.

2-Year College Projects

Hemispheres is exploring several avenues to work with 2-year colleges on internationalizing their curriculum and training foreign language faculty, especially those offering Less Commonly Taught Languages such as Arabic, Hindi, and Russian.  If you are interested in proposing a joint project or exploring ways that we might be able to work together, please contact us at hemispheres@austin.utexas.edu.
