"There are only a handful of moments in my life that I can clearly identify as being profoundly ‘life-changing’, but within that elite group falls the time I spent teaching in Dominica. Beyond a simple instructional experience, the process was rejuvenating on a deep, human level. "
"I have never worked as hard as I did during those two weeks when I provided technology instruction to a diverse group of participants. But no matter the challenge, I always left my classroom smiling, excited for what the next day would bring."
"[Teacher name] was totally awesome! She listened well, communicated well and especially allowed me to function as both teacher and student in this workshop. "
"Freedom of expression and individuality was encouraged as we as students/teachers in this course were able to share our knowledge and expertise with the other teachers and [Teacher name] herself.. She is a teacher I would love to model."
