Abstract

This chapter describes the evolution of a multifaceted international partnership that includes international visitors to local schools and university classes, faculty and student exchanges, a study abroad program, and collaborative faculty research. The study reports how a continuum of international activities were developed between the host university and a university in The Netherlands. Despite the documented need for international experiences, few education majors take advantage of study abroad programs. These projects have expanded a traditional study abroad program to the wider university and local communities. Many local schools and educators can participate. The rewards and challenges in the development of multiple international activities are detailed.
