Pakistani Educational Leadership Institute

Hello everyone -

I saw Sarah’s post and realized that i had been lax about my own updates. School has been very busy as i am approaching graduation. In May i will be done my Undergraduate Degree (16 years of school). I am in the process of applying to new schools to continue on in hopes of getting a master’s degree (2 more years) and my phd (five years after that). I will be coming back, as Sarah said, for this summer’s institute. I’ll also be teaching a module (brief class, meeting perhaps for a week) for the 2008 group. Once i get a complete syllabus together i’ll post it for other people to comment on. We’ll be exploring a number of things including student-centered education methods (Modes of Transmission, Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences, and Feure’s work with language) and writing as a way to express one’s self. Equally, we will be discussing how through writing we may understand eachother better and promote social responsibility. I’m really looking forward to it. I’m also hoping that we can identify the research and learning interests of the 2008 participants and tailor some of our cousework to meet their needs.

If anyone has insight, please feel free to send it my way. I hope life is treating everyone very well.

Yours,
Sean
