Coast-to-Coast in Search of Equity
Canada, Finland, New Zealand, Guatemala
In an effort to improve the educational outcomes of students from marginalized populations, I would like to witness how other educational systems in the world handle equity. Are they using programmatic or curricular solutions? Do they offer support for parents or focus on teacher training? How do other systems address diversity and poverty? Regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, and tax bracket all children should have the chance for prosperity in their education, and a Watson year will allow me to be a student of the world and learn critical lessons from other countries’ successes and failures.
