Dear Juniors and Seniors,
We have partnered with Career Services to give our junior and senior majors ac-
cess to Wildcat Joblink. Wildcat JobLink is a state-of-the-art career management
tool, offering UA students access to jobs, internships, and a range of other services
including campus interviewing and resume referrals.
To access JobLink, please visit the Career Services website at https://
www.career.arizona.edu/joblink. All you need is your NETID and password to login
and take advantage of these great services.
Why is SGPP only funding juniors and seniors to have access to JobLink?
The funding comes from SGPP Program Fees, which only our junior and senior ma-
jors pay. If you are a freshman or sophomore, you are welcome to register and pay
the annual $5 fee out of pocket. Visit https://www.career.arizona.edu/joblink to
register.
I will be a junior at the end of the current semester. When can I have access?
SGPP will be requesting access for any students who have reached 60+ credits each
semester after the census date (the 21st day of the semester). So, if you will have
60+ completed credits at the end of this semester, you will be granted access next
semester after the census date.

EDL 200-A Global Perspective on Schooling When: Fall semester, 2016
Days and Times: Tues & Thurs 8-915am
Gen ED: Tier 2 Individuals and Societies
Course Description: This course will take students on an educational journey in-to the role of schools in societies. We examine the history, politics, geography, and culture of schools in the industrialized world and the developing world with the United States as a reference point. The course takes a comparative perspec-tive on schooling and societies. Emphasis is placed on educational and social-cultural perspectives that influence, hinder, and advance schooling for children and youth, boys and girls in the past, today, and tomorrow (e.g., student diversi-ty and academic achievement, gender inequality, parents and family, poverty, communities and neighborhoods, equity and equality, teachers, curriculum and instruction, violence and war, centralization and decentralization of schools, ed-ucational policies and reforms, and human capital development, etc.). Relevant current educational events will be integrated within collaborative small and large group work, review of videos, writing assignments, and lectures posted on D2L for individual and group access. Student centered shared presentations about schooling experiences situates the comparative nature of the course.

In addition to supporting the garden, you are expected to meet as a class weekly to discuss readings/films/news on urban agricultural issues in the US. There is no course fee.
2) Time commitment: You must register for a minimum of 3 units. For each unit of registration you are expected to commit 3 hours per week of time to your garden site. You may take up to 6 units each semester. Do the math in order to determine how much time, realistically, you can commit to this course.
3) Location of gardens: Most of the gardens are fairly close to the university. Many students ride bikes to the gardens for their internship hours. You will be matched with a site that best suits your skills and interests, as well as your and the sites’ schedules and location.
4) Registering: You will need to decide in which cross-listing department you wish to register your units.

Field coordinators visit sites weekly checking in with teachers and with you to make sure all is going well.
