Last week was the pre international travel symposium in
Washington, D.C. for all of the TGC participants. It was wonderful to finally meet the people I
will travel to Brazil with in June as well as those I’ve been communicating
with in the online class and on Facebook.
It was great to obtain some
logistical information regarding our arrival and departure city, seeing a sample
itinerary, and hearing first hand from a teacher from Brazil about the
education experience there! He shared
that Brazil has many challenges in their education system as we do in
California, some are the same and some different. It will be wonderful to observe their schools
first hand!
This experience was amazing and left me thinking of how to
bring global education back to my school and classroom even more. With this said, with every question I have
there are not as many answers, but more questions such as….How to implement? Who
else on my campus and district is interested in such an endeavor? How can we communicate to parents and students
the necessity? How can we implement with the budgetary concerns that are
plaguing education currently? And so many more!
I guess really all I can do is try to implement in my class and share my
experiences with others. I’m hoping that others will follow my blog and travel vicariously to Brazil with me, and the adventures that accompany it.
