Pakistani Educational Leadership Project at Plymouth State University

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!

I’m a jack-o-lantern, look at me.
I’m as happy as I can be.
Put a candle in and light the light.
Don’t be frightened, it’s Halloween night.
Booo!

Hope you all have a perfectly SPOOKY day!!!!

Plymouth State University’s College of Graduate Studies will be starting a doctoral program in 2009.  To provide flexibility for students, there will be two models: a year-round program that commences in 2009 and a summer program that begins in 2010.

More information is available on the Plymouth State University, College of Graduate Studies, website: www.plymouth.edu/graduate/doctoral/index.html.  Dr. Kenneth Heuser is the Doctoral Program Coordinator.  His e-mail address is kenh@plymouth.edu.

The doctoral program will examine many of the issues addressed in the Pakistani Educational Leadership Institutes.  They include global aspects of leadership and its impact on society; educators as system leaders and agents of change in their communities; and support and advance of knowledge and research that contributes to educational innovation and reform.

Special thanks to Plymouth State’s Pakistani alumni for their contributions in the critical area of educational leadership.

Best to you all from New Hampshire, with snow starting to cap the mountains,

Youth in North Cambridge and Northern Ghana recently participated in a cross-cultural art project- Photoexchangers. Through this project, the children learned about their own and each other’s neighborhoods. Through documentary fieldwork both groups photographed and interviewed local residents, businesses, and organizations. They made photo books of their fieldwork to exchange with their partners and analyzed each other’s work, which sparked email dialog. Their email communication continues and brings new meaning to the power of cross-cultural education by youth for youth. Please check out the website to learn more about this amazing cross-cultural project.
