Have you considered travelling abroad? What are classrooms and schools like in other countries? Do students in different countries respond to your teaching techniques? Do you teach about a culture you have never experienced?
Check out the International Learning Opportunities link to organizations that offer teachers the opportunity to travel. Travelling with a group of like minded individuals allows for you to try something new in a safe environment. These organizations will help you establish connections with individuals and enable you to have experiences you might not be able to arrange as an individual. Review these opportunities, check for application dates, and keep an open mind. The world is your oyster! |
