Citation preview
CLASSROOM PRESENTATIONS“All the presenters showed up promptly, were wonderfully prepared,
and engaged our students thoroughly.” Margarita Throop | NC Teacher
Carolina Navigators enriches the education of both UNC-Chapel Hill and K-12 students through engaged global learning. A total of 39 Carolina Navigators made 348 presentations to 10,617 students and 451 teachers in 44 schools in 10 North Carolina counties. The program did 85 presentations in low income Title I schools receiving financial assistance from the US government.
SERVICE-LEARNING“I thought you’d like to know how your instruction with Carolina
Navigators has led the way to future K-12 outreach even after graduation.” Carina Brossy | World View Program
For the fourth year, CN program coordinator Tara Muller taught the service-learning course “Intercultural Education in K-12 Classrooms.” The course gives UNC students ideas for integrating their own international experiences and knowledge to further the education of K-12 students. Topics studied include language immersion, intercultural communication tools, international math, globally focused professional development for teachers, and best practices for global education currently underway in our state. The course enrolled the capped maximum of 14 students who contributed 573 hours of service and drove 2,288 miles to deliver 109 presentations to 4,047 children over the course of the spring
semester. The service-learning students also organized events with the International Academy at Carrboro High School, Orange County Literacy Council and UNC’s Global Village.
NATIONAL IMPACT“I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated attending this
wonderful session. The discussions were so helpful and I gained much needed information regarding our emerging K-12 project.” Bonita Ewers | Elizabeth City State University
Carolina Navigators hosted a national workshop for K-12 classroom speakers programs in June 2009. Thirty participants from universities as far away as Hawaii, New York, Texas, Michigan, Illinois and Florida gathered to participate and receive Carolina Navigators materials to help start or strengthen an existing K-12 program. Materials provided included an evaluation toolkit, presenter handbook and training DVD, service-learning course syllabus and models for utilizing the latest technology. This year our program was also showcased in the March/April edition of International Educator, NAFSA’s magazine for international education professionals and at sessions in NAFSA and US Department of Education conferences.

ENGAGING STAKEHOLDERSThis year the program added an advisory board of
teachers, community members and university staff
to help guide new ideas and directions for the program.
INCREASING EFFICIENCYAnother exciting development is the completion of an
online database for teachers and presenters. This
database saves both time and money by streamlining
administrative work related to creating, promoting
and scheduling presentations. Listings of presentations and
scheduled requests are now personalized for each user so that
information is easy to keep track of and is all in one place.
EMBRACING TECHNOLOGYPartnering with the UNC Study Abroad Office and the North
Carolina Center for International Understanding, we now
bring live virtual presentations from around the
world to NC classrooms. Interested UNC students
studying abroad are being paired with participating K-12
classrooms to deliver one cultural presentation a month
through live web conferencing from their host country.
Once students return to UNC, they will visit their partner
classrooms in person for a final presentation.
We are also developing for teachers an online bank of
resources related to our culture kits and presentations
which connect their topics to the North Carolina Standard
Course of Study in an effort to extend the reach and
usefulness of our resources.
