17 educators from around the world visited Southwest today. They are guest of the US State Department and part of an ongoing exchange program. They will be in the country for three weeks visiting school across the country.
We were asked to host a session today. Part of the time was sharing notes about structures and operations. Another important part was meeting with one of Theory of Knowledge classes. They were interested in talking with students and learning more about the IB program. After some discussion, the students led the guests on a building tour and visited some classrooms.
They were with us only a short time. They said they enjoyed the time with the students. They were in the halls during a passing time and they even seemed to think that was okay.
We are fortunate that numerous groups visit our school. We try to expose them and our students to the larger world. We participate in two different student exchange programs. Over the years we have found this to be beneficial. W learn so much from our visitors and enjoy sharing our experiences with them.
