The advantages most often cited for preparing globally competent teachers include: an improvement in self-assurance, confidence, and flexibility; the ability to prepare responsible national and international citizens; improved pedagogical skills; a better understanding of the American educational system; increased cultural sensitivity; the ability to teach an increasingly diverse student population; the ability to acquire second language skills and to teach those students whose first language is not English; and, greater marketability post completion of student teaching abroad. The Student Teaching Program in Europe (STEP) is the oldest teaching abroad program at Miami. For more than a generation, schools in European Union have hosted Miami student teachers. Summer Student Teachers will spend the entirety of their student teaching experience in Luxembourg at a local International School that offers curriculum delivered in English.

Venice: Art Capital, Past and Present	Venice is one of the most unique cities on earth. Its long history as a major political and economic center on the Mediterranean made it one of the preeminent sites for the development of major works of art and architecture from the 12th through 18th centuries. This legacy continues through its current status as an international beacon for contemporary art, particularly through the Venice Biennale, an exhibition begun in 1895. Few cities afford as rich of an exploration of history and artistic culture spanning the medieval through contemporary periods. None do so in a setting as enchanting and unique as Venice. This program immerses students in the study of art and intercultural exchange through multiple sites across Venice. This course begins with two weeks of online instruction and study in preparation for two weeks of immersive study in this one-of-a-kind city and covers two courses worth six credits.
