IIE Blog: Bringing International Education to the High School Classroom

IIE program manager Stacey Chapple shares examples of how K-12 teacher exchange has impacted both high schools students and communities abroad. Teachers returned with new insight about the communities they visited and developed classroom projects in collaboration with academic connections made during their exchange, resulting in a unique classroom learning experience. "Educators can play a large role in inspiring their students to think beyond their national boundaries and to view themselves as part of a global society," writes Chapple.

All educators interested in bringing the global world into their classrooms are encouraged to make a pledge to Generation Study Abroad.
