What Will the Students and Staff Gain from this Experience?
Our world is changing. We have all heard this
before. But take a minute and think about what that means to this
generation. They have easy and frequent access to the internet. This
has expanded their world well beyond our county lines. They have the
opportunity to read about and see images of everyday life around the
world as only modern technology can provide. But our partnership gives
them so much more than simply reading about this world - it gives them
an opportunity to actually meet it face to face. They will work with
professional quality teachers from another country. Our partnership
offers them the opportunity to be challenged by people who believe in
their youth and abilities and who believe they can rise to that
challenge. But there are practical skills to be learned as well.
Our students are treated as professionals and are
expected to act as professionals. They will learn first-hand the
universal skills of time management, prioritizing their tasks,
organizing their learning time and much more. The faculty at
New
Kent
High School
will work with our actors to help them maintain the academics, while
they work through this process. They will learn what it means to
commit to something and follow it through.
Our staff also benefits from this partnership. We
have the opportunity to talk with educators from another country. Our
educational systems are very different and we find many things to
compare. Yet, we find many things the same, such as the belief in our
students. The exchange of professional ideas and concepts can only
serve to improve everyone who actively participates.
