The 教师 Program Director of a study abroad program is much more than an average faculty member. Classroom teaching and research alone do not prepare you for successfully directing a study abroad program. You are not only a teacher in this situation, but also an administrator, leader, interpreter, decision-maker, and diplomat. Your day does not end when class is over. You must be able to uphold and implement UVU institutional policies while at the same time taking advantage of the differences present in a foreign setting.
The steps listed below will guide you through the process of leading a study abroad program.
提出留学计划分为三个步骤：
Proposals are screened by the 海外教育处 and sponsoring academic departments and colleges/schools for academic quality, safety, risk, and financial sustainability.
The 海外教育处 announces new approved programs for the following Spring and Summer at the 留学博览会 in September. 教师 are invited to table at this event to promote their program. the 海外教育处 will provide posters and other recruitment materials as described in the 留学教育服务处 section below.
学生 can 在线申请until the general application deadline in early February (unless the program director lists an earlier deadline in their proposal)。 You will be given a link to a login screen to see your applicants as they apply.
the 海外教育处 will help recruit for your program, but the faculty program director and former students on your program are usually the most effective recruiters. See the 教师主导的海外留学招聘策略 list below for recruitment ideas. 教师 should encourage students to speak with the Study Abroad Coordinator in LA 209 ([email protected]) to discuss application logistics and financial aid/scholarship opportunities.
At the application deadline, the 海外教育处 will check with the appropriate offices on campus to ensure that each applicant is in good academic, disciplinary, and financial standing with the university. You will have the opportunity at this point to approve or disapprove of the students that have applied to your program. the 海外教育处 will send an official acceptance email to all approved students in good standing asking them to commit to participate in the program by paying a $500 deposit.
All students are required to participate in an online orientation course that covers basic information on health and safety for international travel, informs students how to register for their courses and how to pay the balance of their program fee, and collects required waivers and documentation.
教师 should also provide at least one pre-departure orientation that covers preparatory information specific to the site students will be visiting. Topics to discuss at this orientation may include: health/safety procedures, academic expectations, program administration, communications, site orientation, public transportation, program rules/behavioral expectations (Code of Conduct), group dynamics, the host country educational system, cross-cultural adaptation, cultural differences, and living with host families or in international residences. You should discuss if there are any conditions on site that could present a challenge for people with disabilities or that require accommodations (i.e. lack of access to refrigeration, the need to walk a lot on uneven surfaces)。 Establish a leadership role and positive group dynamic and serve as the intercultural facilitator for students (liaison between home and host cultures)。
After the final roster of students is determined, the 海外教育处 and the UVU Travel Office will assist you in completing your program Concur travel request, obtaining travel cards, apply for visas (if required), enrolling for required international health and evacuation insurance, and making international purchases for services.
Since faculty do not have the authority to sign contracts on behalf of the university, you will need to send agreements and contracts that require signatures to the Office of 国外的教育 early on in the process so that we can help you get them approved by the UVU General Counsel and the SVPAA.
While the program is in session, you serve as the facilitator for all communication between UVU’s 海外教育处 and the hosting institution or agency abroad (if applicable) and program participants. You represent UVU to the students and host institutions and are therefore responsible for understanding and implementing UVU policies included in but not limited to 旅行政策251和252.
At the outset of the program, you should provide another orientation to students to reinforce the safety procedures and academic expectations that you discussed in the pre-departure orientation.
Your primary responsibility will be to teach your course using the international site of your program as a classroom, but you will also need to make/confirm logistical arrangements, make payments, manage funds, keep financial records and receipts, and resolve student concerns and handle emergencies. You will organize lodging, meals, transportation, guides and entrance fees for excursions to be conducted in locations relevant to your course learning objectives (as indicated in program budget)。
The 海外教育处 will provide you with an 紧急 Contact Info sheet that includes contact information for the 海外教育处 (your main point of contact with the university while abroad), the UVU police, the nearest U.S. Embassy, the insurance company, student and faculty emergency contacts, local emergency services, and other important people and institutions.
You are responsible for maintaining contact with students throughout the program, counseling as needed on issues of cultural adjustment, conduct, and other non-academic issues.
Within a month of returning to UVU, you will need to reconcile all program costs with the Travel Office via an Expense Report in Concur. T海外教育办公室在这里协助这个过程。
The 海外教育处 will request feedback from students and share the results with you.
学生 are encouraged to continue developing their international understanding by engaging in the G/I Distinction program and participating in the International Photo Contest, Diplomatic Conference and UN events, Global Spotlight and Dignitary events, and International Internship.
