ITEP Trip to Bosnia.While the rest of American University
was taking their final exams this past May, a team of International Training
and
Education
Program
(ITEP) graduate
students and faculty from the School of Education, Teaching, and Health were
completing a very different type of assignment. From April 28 to May
11, 2007, twelve ITEP students and two faculty members went to Bosnia and Herzegovina
(BiH) to conduct a formative evaluation of a school improvement project supported
by UNICEF. The trip was led Charles Tesconi, Director, ITEP
and Lynn Cohen, Associate Director. Cohen was a long-term consultant with UNICEF
in Bosnia-Herzegovina
during and immediately after the Bosnian war. According to Professor Tesconi, “A
significant feature of this project is that our students were involved from
the beginning. They were instrumetnal in planning for it, in handling many
of the logistics for it, and in developing the research and evaluation tools
necessary to respond to UNICEF's charge. They have received guidance from faculty,
but can proudly say it is their own.” more
