From October 21st to 31st, 2011, three Children's School educators were privileged to learn about culture and education in South Korea and to share our early childhood experience with children, parents, pre-service teachers and experienced educators there. From January 8th to 12th, 2012, we hosted a brief visit by Duksung's Early Childhood Department Chair, lab school Director, and six teachers. These educators toured the Children's School, the Cyert Center, the Falk School at Pitt, and the Campus School at Carlow. While they observed classrooms, interacted with educators, children and faculty, visited informal education contexts like Phipps Conservatory and the Children's Museum, and met with early childhood leaders at PAEYC, we discussed possibilities for future collaboration to enhance professional development and education.
From January 22nd through February 3rd, the Children's School, Campus School, and Falk School collaboratively hosted 14 early childhood practicum students who observed and assisted in classrooms at one of the three schools, as well as touring other schools, participating in workshops specially planned for them, and visiting some Pittsburgh cultural attractions geared for young children.
The robot Keepon was featured on Plum TV's "Masters of Innovation" in an episode entitled "Robots" about Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute.
