Education in London
In the late 1980s, England instituted a national curriculum initiative that outlined the standards and assessments to be utilized in all publicly funded schools. In recent years, the U.S. has also undergone significant educational reform, which in many ways emulates that of England with its strict standards for accountability. Thus, examining the British educational system in terms of both policy and practice may offer a profound perspective on our own educational system. Teaching in London schools for your internship, along with researching various aspects of the British educational system, can be the defining element of your professional preparation. .

"Today marks twelve years since I have applied for the London program, and there is not a day that has gone by that I haven’t been grateful for the experience. I am still in contact with former colleagues from my internship site, and what I learned about American education through their lens still impacts my practice. On a personal note, I grew up in a primarily white town in Connecticut, and navigating a diverse and multicultural city led me to question my cultural upbringing and emphasis on Eurocentric values in my K-12 schooling."
