ITEP Trip to Bosnia.While the rest of American University was taking their final exams this past May, a team of International Training and Education Program (ITEP) graduate students and faculty from the School of Education, Teaching, and Health were completing a very different type of assignment. From April 28 to May 11, 2007, twelve ITEP students and two faculty members went to Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) to conduct a formative evaluation of a school improvement project supported by UNICEF. The trip was led Charles Tesconi, Director, ITEP and Lynn Cohen, Associate Director. Cohen was a long-term consultant with UNICEF in Bosnia-Herzegovina during and immediately after the Bosnian war. According to Professor Tesconi, “A significant feature of this project is that our students were involved from the beginning. They were instrumetnal in planning for it, in handling many of the logistics for it, and in developing the research and evaluation tools necessary to respond to UNICEF's charge. They have received guidance from faculty, but can proudly say it is their own.” more
