Dragons Educator Courses
The best of our student programs, designed for teachers
We understand teenagers: Dragons has facilitated over 250,000 in-field days of safe, educational experiences for students aged 15-22. We have developed risk management systems and a global leadership curriculum designed for this age group and a toolkit of activities for teachers. All educator courses introduce participants to our risk management systems and our core curriculum in Global Citizenship, Awareness of Self, and Leadership skills.
Experienced, professional teachers: We staff educator courses with experienced instructors and employ exceptional regional contacts – professors, aid workers, and local experts – to facilitate in-depth discussions and interactions with the peoples and communities we visit.
Our responsible-travel philosophy: Dragons is not a luxury-travel organization. We use public transportation, stay in small, family-owned lodges or in local families’ homes, and chip in to help the community in ways that sometimes get us dirty. Please come ready for an adventure!
Choose your destination and your focus of inquiry:
Bolivia: biodiversity & climate change
Cambodia: reconciliation and transformation in the 21st century
Nicaragua: best practices in global citizenship education
Boulder, CO: 3-day intensive: best practices in global citizenship education
Plan ahead to 2013:
Jordan: (spring break 2013) the history of the middle east
China: (Summer 2013) a new paradigm in sustainability
Nepal: (Summer 2013) cultural survival and sustainable development
We’ll take care of the rest.
“I started off this course thinking that global education was a small part of what I do as a teacher – I have left knowing that it is the core of everything”—Ashley Kaplan, educator course, Cambodia 2011.
