Description: If you are adventurous, academically able, independent and ambitious, overseas student teaching offers an opportunity to broaden your outlook on the world and expand future professional possibilities.  Through this experience, you will gain greater sensitivity to other cultures, a more informed perspective on the United States' role in the world, greater appreciation of your heritage, and increased self-confidence from having successfully dealt with new and challenging situations - qualities much needed in today's teachers.  UW-RF is an active member of the Consortium for Overseas Student Teaching (COST), an association that places education students in schools in foreign countries to fulfill student teaching requirements.  Students are required to first, successfully complete nine weeks of student teaching in the USA, the overseas experience takes place during the second nine weeks.
