Connecting with the community can take form in many different ways, but one of the ways I was able to get plugged-in was working at the local YMCA with their PLAYEE English Teaching Program. On Saturday mornings, they go into more humble communities and teach basic English through songs, games, and crafts. Working with this program was an absolute blast.
CET Jordan: Academic Consultation Board
Over the years, we’ve built a strong network of locally-based faculty that we’re proud to call our peers. These faculty make up our Academic Consultation Board—a select group of local voices and thought leaders that help advise and shape components of the CET Jordan program.
Board members support the program in many ways, including but not limited to:
- Leveraging topical expertise to help develop courses, including field-based components.
- Teaching courses or guest lectures for CET Jordan and custom programs
- Recommending and providing academic resources for research
