Post-Graduate Opportunities:
- Wycliffe has many opportunities for teachers. Schools range in size from a one-room multi-grade classroom to a K-12 school with over 700 students.
- Wycliffe has itinerant teacher opportunities to work with small groups of children for short periods of time. These teachers have the rare opportunity to live in different village environments as they consult with parents who teach their own children.
- Ethnomusicology: Essentially ethnomusicology is looking at music as a part of a culture and social life and looking at the music system itself. Once these basic parameters are made then music can be compared and studied across cultures and across time and in other ways, such as, how music affects cultures and the people involved and how culture affects music.
- Research the internet for more opportunities – there are many organizations which send people to other countries to teach. (Best Bets for Studying Abroad has a good website with an index of opportunities: http://www.cie.uci.edu/iop/voluntee.html)
