Voyagers Club with Rachel Clarke and Amanda Cogan

We have the pleasure of hosting an enlightening Voyager's Club program on October 22, 2009 at 6:30 p.m. with two of our 2008-2009 Council Scholar winners, Rachel Clarke and Amanda Cogan.

This is your opportunity to hear engaging presentations on their education trips to Turkey and Peru respectively and how those experiences help shape international education in Mecklenburg County (and surrounding areas) schools.

Both educators will provide a country update with a presentation on their experiences, insight from their trip and the impact to the education community in Charlotte followed by a photography slideshow from their individual trips.

As the Council continues to partner with local educational institutions and reaching out to both educators and students, it's our privilege to be part of a growing international education community in Charlotte.

Being able to participate in the World View Study Tour was a learning experience not only for me, but for my school and community. Through the use of "Flat Stanleys" and a travelblog, I was able to share my experiences with students in real time. Since my return, I've been meeting with other school leaders and members of the community. I also will be visiting classrooms both inside and outside of my school, sharing my experiences, artifacts, and hopefully dispelling the ideas that people have about the mysterious and elusive Middle Eastern part of the world. As we become a "flatter" world by the day, I hope that I can encourage my students to look outside their boundaries and preconceived notions to embrace the entire world.
