Single Voices Global Choices

You want to make a difference! 

To make a difference, we, teachers, must be willing and able to create a conducive social environment for learning and students have to be open to the experience of learning in this environment.

Project Based Teaching focuses on engaging students with real-world problems. This is an interdisciplinary approach because real-world challenges are rarely solved using information or skills from a single subject area. projects require students to engage in inquiry, solution building, and product construction to help address the real-world issue or challenged presented.

The beauty of collaboration is not only the ability to tap into various perspectives and ideas but also to share responsibility for our students' learning. The more people invested in a students' education, the better the chance that student has to be successful.

Exposing teachers to new teaching concepts is very important. Teachers need to bring the world into their classrooms. The need for students to be able to empathize with others, value diverse perspectives and cultures, understand how events around the world are interconnected, and solve problems that transcend borders has never been greater.

We need to help our students become global citizens who act with passion and compassion. 

I believe that real-life issues and events capture our students' interest in a way that textbook writing rarely can, because my students can relate to what is happening in their community, their country, and the world.
