UMaine Senior Headed to New Zealand for Student Teaching
UMaine education major Megan Nichols of Wiscasset will leave Maine on Feb. 24 for student teaching in New Zealand. As Monday’s Bangor Daily News reports, she is one of the first UMaine students to take advantage of a new partnership between UMaine’s College of Education and Human Development and AustraLearn, an organization that places students in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. The story includes comments from Karen Boucias, director of UMaine’s Office of International Programs along with her colleague Orlina Boteva and Pam Kimball, the College of Education and Human Development’s field experiences and certification program director.
