MA in International Education during COVID-19
by: Paget Foerster - AustraliaProgram: Teach & Learn in Spain, Instituto Franklin-UAHI was impressed with how easily the program and professors switched to online delivery during the peak of the COVID-19 outbreak. The administration team were supportive throughout an extended period of uncertainty, and I would happily recommend the program to anyone wanting to broaden their knowledge within the education realm.

Teaching & learning in Spain!
by: Yanina Charre - United StatesProgram: Teach & Learn in Spain, Instituto Franklin-UAHThis is a fabulous program. I cannot say enough about the support and assistance from the UAH Instituto Franklin staff. Above and beyond. You will get all the help you need to get your 101 local and government appointments and so much more. We are just completing our first course of the school year and it was great! I love my classmates, we're a lively bunch from so many walks of life. Finding a place to live was tough. You can't get your own place unless it's by the kindness of a private owner....

What inspired you to travel abroad?
My job is very dynamic and there isn't a "typical" day. Since I have a variety of responsibilities, I really like that each day is not so regimented or monotonous...it's fun and exciting to see what will happen! Something that I do every day is greet my colleagues, students, and faculty. Some days, I go on excursions or site visits with students (I may have to translate at these visits). Other days, I organize institutional visits and attend to visitors from other institutions who may want to develop programs at Instituto Franklin-UAH. I am always updating our programs, creating materials, and setting up conference calls with partners, prospective students, and institutions. My office is always available to students and interns, thus I am usually attending to their needs or giving them professional development discussions. Most of the time, I prepare for my class or future conferences where I will be presenting. I also organize these international trips.

I love American culture and helping students in their Study Abroad experience. Working at the Instituto Franklin-UAH offers me the opportunity to live both. I like that it allows me to put into practice my main passion, teaching, and that it gives me the opportunity to apply my intra and interpersonal skills.
