Participants read lessons, write, share  resources, network with one another, and collaborate on special  projects. They explore web links, play games, and take virtual field  trips, all designed to further their understanding of U.S. culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;font-family: Arial;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: normal;font-style: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">The  Community Involvement segment of the program takes au pairs into  face-to-face contact with the community. Au pairs are required to do a  Global Awareness presentation, volunteer at local organizations, and  participate in historical and cultural activities. Au pairs will relate  these experiences to their academic coursework. A follow-up writing  assignment will consist of a reflection on the community-based  experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;font-family: Arial;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: normal;font-style: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">Participants  who successfully complete the program receive 6 quarter units (4  semester units) and earn a certificate of completion from UCLA  Extension.Participants also have access to a UCLA Extension transcript,  should they wish to request articulation of this program into a degree  program at another college or university.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;font-family: Arial;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: normal;font-style: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">View the program brochure<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/fileview?id=14l9jIjZru_k4nVb2HW0vZL4rkDLSg89xTWqsprXnCBB9ZttdsB1Y__jfMOCB&amp;hl=en\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;font-family: Arial;color: #000099;background-color: transparent;font-weight: normal;font-style: normal;vertical-align: baseline;text-decoration: underline\"> here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;font-family: Arial;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: normal;font-style: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;font-family: Arial;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: normal;font-style: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">For more information, call the Distance Learning Program office at (310) 206-6671 or email mhochstr@uclaextension.edu.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 8pt;font-family: Arial;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: normal;font-style: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">The Fall 2010 course will take place from September 20 &#8211; January 31, 2011.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 8pt;font-family: Arial;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: normal;font-style: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">To enroll* in this course,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uclaextension.edu\/r\/Course.aspx?reg=V8892\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;font-family: Arial;color: #000099;background-color: transparent;font-weight: normal;font-style: normal;vertical-align: baseline;text-decoration: underline\"> click here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;font-family: Arial;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: normal;font-style: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;font-family: Arial;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: normal;font-style: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">*Students  wishing to enroll online and who do not have a Social Security number  can skip that field when supplying the enrollment information.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Updated 9\/23\/2010: I just spoke with a representative from UCLA and she said that if an au pair would still like to enroll in this class, she may do so this week.
