Dr. Delta Cavner with Sripatum University Representatives |
|
In July, CGE co-sponsored training and workshop programs focused on "PBL Teaching Method for 21st Century Classrooms" at Sripatum University (SPU) in Bangkok, Thailand. Dr. Delta Cavner, Professor of Education from Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri, delivered lectures for this event and stayed at Sripatum for an additional 5 weeks to represent CGE. She was joined by SBU student Haley Wech, who assisted with English teaching and met with interested international students.
The strategic PBL (Problem-Based Learning) workshop and materials were presented to 70 SPU faculty attendees who will continue make use of those materials to enhance their classroom environments through Dr. Cavner's online resources. In preparation for the workshop, Dr. Cavner worked with Sripatum's Special Assistant to the President, Chinda Tejavanija, and her staff, while Dr. Khosak Achawakorn served as the moderator for the two-day PBL training experience. In August, Dr. Khosak will begin serving as the Director for the Sripatum International College.
Sripatum University was the first international university to join as an affiliate member of CGE. CGE appreciates the relationship that CGE holds with Sripatum, along with their Office of International Relations, International College, Departments of Education, and the Institute of Language and Culture.
