Curriculum development internship, language-based projects for kids

All Around This World -- http://www.ExploreEverywhere.com -- a global music and world cultures educational program for young children (infants to 9 year-olds) and their families -- is seeking students to work with us on developing inspiring lessons and participatory projects for elementary school-aged kids that will use languages as a launch pad for learning about global cultures. These lessons will become part of our curriculum, one that already includes 300 multilingual songs and cultural experiences that originate from over 100 counties. 

Students will work with AATW's founder and lead teacher Jay Sand to create participatory lessons that find inspiration in global languages to inspire elementary school-aged students to engage in cultural exploration. We are seeking students, particularly those who are competent writers, who  can start with an idea we have already begun to develop and add creative energy to transform it into a stellar in-class lesson or project. If you love languages but aren't inclined to write lessons, we are also looking for students to work with us in more of an organizational capacity to engage with speakers of many languages to encourage their participation in our curriculum. 

AATW is a small organization based in Philadelphia, but this internship is remote. Interns will work Jay online, communicating via e-mail and Zoom. 

Interns can commit any amount of time weekly to the project and work hours will be flexible; we will work together to develop a schedule that works for us both. We welcome interns who will be able to work with us all year, but we'll also be grateful to partner with you for one semester. 

This internship is unpaid, but we will enthusiastically support you in using this work for an internship credit or an independent study project. We also actively support successful interns with recommendations and in developing items for your portfolio. Interns will receive public credit as co-developers of the lessons.

If you are interested you may apply through Handshake, but we also welcome you to e-mail us directly to let us know more about you and what inspired to respond to this post. Please direct inquiries to Jay Sand at jay@allaroundthisworld.com, 215-913-2679.
