With only a few days left before I depart on this amazing journey in South Africa with my classmates I reflected upon the information I’ve gained through our readings, through our email groups and discussions we’ve had as a class. I feel like I have a much better understanding of how the education system in South Africa is set up as well as more about how the apartheid affected their communities. Which is something I really felt I needed to get a better understanding of and my group was able to show me that. In my email group I was paired with a group of people who come from all different types of backgrounds and even then, we found out that our views are very alike. The passion that we all share for bettering the education system and for creating a safe place of support for all of our students and future students is very apparent. I have learned so much from them already and I can’t wait until we are able to work together in person. I’m confident that we will able to produce something that can help each of us as educators and hopefully help those around us. With that…t-minus 2 days!

Study AbroadThis June I have gotten the opportunity to travel to South Africa to observe policies and practices of the education systems. I will be working with students and educators from the U.S. and South Africa on a Changemaker Project. Our hope is to bring awareness to the different types of diverse learners in the U.S., South Africa and all over. Archives
