Americana
Americana is an educational program designed to reinforce a positive American identity by providing a safe environment for children to explore their American identity and allowing children to interact with other American youngsters. It builds language skills by introducing words, ideas, concepts as well as songs, games, literature (poems, stories...) that are not part of their everyday context.
College Guidance
In this globally competitive world, college graduates earn more than those who only finish high school. Consequently, the number of students going to college continues to rise. However, many students apply indiscriminately and find themselves unprepared for or unhappy with where they finally matriculate. There are over 3,000 accredited tertiary schools in the US alone, as well as outstanding universities in Europe, the UK and Canada. See FAWCO's College Guidance information -- crucial to those applying to colleges and universities in the US.
Students Who Learn Differently Overseas
If you are a student who learns differently who is living abroad, a family member of such a student, or an educational professional concerned with the teaching of such students, this is an invaluable resource. Much of the information compiled in this study is the result of research by FAWCO members. In many cases, the respondents were American women living overseas at the time of the study. Many were living in non-English speaking countries. Often the women had to try to find adequate accommodations for their LD learners with little or no assistance. Students Who Learn Differently Overseas is an attempt to help fill that void by researching accommodations, rights, and resources that are or should be made available to our learning differently students, their families and their educators.
For more information please contact Students Who Learn Differently Overseas Co-Chair, Susan van Alsenoy.
