The Experience Scotland program maintains a commitment to providing unique international teaching opportunities to not only students at our various partner campuses, but also faculty. Over 300 faculty have taught in the program throughout our history. Faculty play an instrumental role in the Experience Scotland international community at Newbattle Abbey and many faculty have reported that the teaching experience in Scotland has been just as life-changing for them as it is for the students they teach! Interested faculty are encouraged to review the Participant Guide and Faculty Supplements to better understand the on-site expectations and experience. You can also reach out to kelsey.mclean@uwrf.edu for additional information or to request a meeting to learn more about the opportunity.
