PSYC 25
Exploring K-12 Education in the Berkshires Winter 2025

Class Details

Interested in education? Exploring K-12 Education in the Berkshires provides a wonderful opportunity to dive into a project in one of our local K-12 schools. Special projects ranging from curriculum development to project based learning are offered in collaboration with local teachers and administrators to provide an intensive rich learning and teaching experience for Williams students. Students will be mentored by host teachers and will have the opportunity to explore other topics in education as well through further connections at their host schools, a weekly dinner speaker series and weekly reflections sessions. Typical projects involve 15-20 hours/week. Hours in the school are coordinated between the Williams student and the teacher. Final project will be decided on a case by case in advance basis depending on the school. Orientation for this class will occur in fall so that students are well connected with their host teacher and their school prior to the start of winter study.
