International
Education Study Abroad Program
International Education
is designed in its broadest sense to include all programs, projects,
studies, and activities that encourage an individual to learn, understand
and care about the world beyond his or her community and to transcend
culturally conditioned, ethnocentric perspectives, perceptions and behaviors.
Under the direction
of the Coordinator of International Education, the Study Abroad Program
presently offers four venues--fall semester in Florence, Italy, Spring
semester in Oxford, England, and summer programs in Paris, France and
Salamanca, Spain. Students earn college credit in these quality academic/cultural
programs lead by Riverside Community College faculty. For an application
to teach abroad or for further information concerning the study abroad
programs, contact the coordinator at (951) 222-8340, Quadrangle 104,
Riverside Campus.
School
of Education
The RCCD School
of Education was formed in 2002 as an organizing center for academic
programs in early childhood education, pre-teacher education, and future
programs preparing paraprofessional instructional aides for the public
schools. The School's academic programs, both transfer programs and
certificate programs, are offered on all three RCCD campuses. In addition,
the School was created to represent RCCD's programmatic interests in
the proposed highly innovative Center for Primary Education, scheduled
to open in the La Sierra area of Riverside during the fall, 2007. A.A.
and A.S. degree candidates at RCCD campuses may prepare themselves to
the maximum extent allowable under California credentialing regulations
for transferring to university teacher education programs in preparation
for careers as elementary and secondary teachers. They also may prepare
fully for careers in early childhood education and the awarding of an
Early Childhood Studies Certificate and the state awarded Child Development
Permit.
