It was difficult to imagine myself being done with midterms but the time does go by – slowly but surely! Starting around the beginning of October, IEDPers have been completely consumed with assignments, exams and papers for good two to three weeks, depending on what kind of courses one is taking. I felt like it was such a big part of our IEDP first semester … Continue reading Midterms Reflections

There is only one month left before my internship ends but it feels like I just started – time flies when you enjoy what you are doing!

With the start … Continue reading Happy (late) World Teachers’ Day!

It’s hard to believe that I’ve already worked with UNESCO Beijing for 1 month. Every day was busy but meaningful because I am learning and improving. And it’s always exciting when you got the chance to use what you have been learning. At the beginning of the third week, I finally met our program specialist of education sector–Mr. Robert Parua. He is … Continue reading Great Wall, great work!
Time flies fast! I am in the last week of my internship now – I have spent 8 weeks in Uganda and 2 weeks in Ethiopia, and I officially don’t know where the time went.

Hi! My name is Ale, a first-year student at IEDP, and I’ve written a guest post for this week’s blog to provide a different perspective on the EDUC 514 course. I’m in a section taught by Dr. Wagner, as opposed to Hannah who is in Dr. GK’s section. Hopefully, this post will give you a sense of variety available at IEDP by showing how one … Continue reading Guest Post: Exploring Development
“Who knows? A year and a half at IEDP might total[ly] shake up my goals and directions and take me to somewhere that I had not imagined. That does sound daunting but I’d really like to keep my options – all options possible! – open at the moment. Whichever path it might be, I would be a happy adult if I feel like I’m making … Continue reading Everything you didn’t know about Development
According to the Ty, co-director of Sankofa Community Farm at Bartram’s Garden, it was solstice today and that farms get busy around this time as they prepare for the fall season. Upon hearing that, I thought to myself 1) ‘finally the fall is coming – can’t wait to wear my sweaters around’ and 2) ‘what a great day it was to visit this lush and … Continue reading Till your way: Cohort trip to Bartram’s Garden
