Depart:  June 26, 2009

Return:  July 5, 2009

Below is the itinerary of your stay which includes lectures presented by British faculty selected especially for this “study abroad” experience and our highly acclaimed, New Jersey faculty members, Judy Shapiro and Barbara McAuliffe.

While literacy issues and special education at home and abroad is the overall theme, there is a focus on children’s literature and the student with dyslexia.  The spectrum includes global topics such as the British education system and discussion of book characteristics that are particularly valuable for the struggling reader. Lectures are typically no longer than two hours and days are a combination of travel and learning. For further information on the sites to which you will travel, explore the following websites:

• Wroxton Abbey
• Warwick Castle
• Frank Wise School
• Stratford upon Avon
• Royal Shakespeare Company
• London

A list of children’s books to be read before arrival in England will be sent to participants in early April.

If you are interested in participating in this study abroad experience, please send in a non-refundable check of $500, made out to FDU, to Grace Hottinger by April 1.  Class size is limited and reservations will be honored in the order of arrival of application with accompanying check.
