Past Teams

In addition to gaining invaluable curriculum planning, teaching, and research experience, the full immersion of Smith student teachers into Belizean culture offers experiences that cannot be obtained from classrooms and textbooks alone. Daily life in Belize is different in many ways from that in the United States, from communication to grocery shopping, to childcare and transportation. The relative lack of immediate access to technology challenges student teachers to be resourceful while encouraging them to utilize the natural setting of Ambergris Caye in planning and executing the Coral Reef Ed-Ventures Program.

  1. Wow!
    My grand Hayley Reifeiss is with the Summer 2016 Team and with her participation has made me more aware of marine life that is constantly under threat.
    I am ever hopeful her generation will help to solve those particular threats.

  2. The second group–2001. Kate Buckman is a biology major and Kim Cheney is a geology major. Loved looking at all the groups through the years. So much energy and love of ecology just beaming out.
