Curriculum

Our curriculum is built upon the principles outlined in our GEA Circles of Impact. This framework provides an invaluable lens through which we can more actively participate in the personal and professional growth our programs are designed to encourage. Participants are expected to immerse themselves fully, grappling with a diverse array of concepts, cultures, and philosophies that define various ways of being. Through the Circles of Impact, participants are given an essential framework to engage in this self-reflection, and to critically evaluate and internalize the richness of experiences offered through our travels. The Circles of Impact framework assists each participant to develop a more nuanced and insightful approach to understanding and interpreting the classrooms we visit and observe. We believe that reflective engagement with the concepts detailed in our Circles of Impact will make us more culturally responsive and aware travelers, thus enhancing our experiences in new and varied contexts, and enabling us to more effectively engage with all students in more meaningful ways.
