by Sally Jackson
Higher Education in the Ukraine
Sally Jackson spent six weeks in Zhytomyr, Ukraine interning
at the
Zhytomyr State Pedagogical University. She assisted
with developing a civic education center (identifying
resources, space layout, creating posters, etc.) and
organizing a public school teachers' summer institute
on using civic education to develop writing skills,
in which she also taught two sessions.
Sally lived with a local assistant principal and her
mother and daughter. This allowed her to experience
the typical daily routine, including shopping at the
open-air markets.
Members of the department took Sally on several trips
around the area, including a daylong visit to Kiev with
a local historian, a visit to the multiple cultural
and industrial museums, and the homes of famous writers
and astronauts/rocket engineers.
