I'll be traveling to Noorvik, AK in two weeks for the rural practicum which is a component of EDSC 457 an education course I am taking at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

I will traveling with another UAF education student and will be working with the Noorvik High School science teacher.

I'm very excited by opportunity to travel to a rural community. My parents taught for 6 years at Nunivak and then in Akiachak. It should be an intersting and educational experience.

Noorvik was the first village in Alaska to be counted in the US census. NPR had a story on it few months ago.
