Alexa M Clausen, Summer 2013 Participant
I found the experience of working within schools so different from those in American one of the most important experiences I could have had. It is a real challenge to understand that situation unless you have been placed within it and it is an experience that I believe every teacher should have to go through.

Summer 2017 Participant
It was so rewarding to teach English lessons to my Italian students planned or unplanned. It truly brought me joy and I was even able to learn Italian at the same time!

Summer 2013 Participant
The biggest thing I learned was how to interact with foreign exchange students and their families in my classroom. I saw how the teachers interacted with the pakistani kids that new little italian and little english. It gives me more of an idea how much effort I need to put out to help the international families feel at home and connected. Being on the outside not knowing the language helped me to put myself in the shoes of my students I may have that don't know English. It helped me to get a feel for what it's like being new to language and culture, and things I can do for them that helped me while I was abroad.
