Student Teaching Abroad

By teaching abroad, Miami pre-service candidates can broaden their horizons by gaining an increased understanding of cultural differences, compare and contrast schools abroad with those in the United States, and gain confidence in their teaching abilities. It can also be a great way to demonstrate initiative and resourcefulness that will impress future employers.

There are currently two student teaching abroad options:

  • Luxembourg for 8 weeks
  • Ireland

Students should register for International Student Teaching at the EHS Field Office during the fall of their third year.

Please Note

Locations and programs are subject to change based on enrollment as well as the current political and social climate.
