Germany, Here I Come... {DEUTSCHLAND, HIER KOMME ICH}

This June, I am headed to Germany.  I was lucky enough to be selected by Go Global NC to receive the Beattie Grant, which sends NC teachers to foreign countries in order to build connections, learn about the different education systems, and experience the culture.


It requires some pre and post educational work on my part - but it is a subject about which I am passionate, and I am thrilled to have this opportunity.

In my application and subsequent interview, I spoke about how I hope that this trip will change me - so that I can be a better teacher for my students, and a better person overall.  And that is as honest as I can be about my expectations for this experience.

Teaching and travel?  In one ten day trip to Germany.

Dreams do come true.
