From war to SARS, Kellogg students tackle global challenges along with GIM trips and research projects Global Initiatives in Management (GIM) course proved an opportunity to exercise leadership and management skills for students and faculty advisers who set off on the annual academic adventure. Kellogg School students on a GIM trip to China gather outside the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Each year, as many as two-thirds of all Kellogg students spend 10 weeks studying and designing real-world research projects, then jet off to countries around the globe for two weeks of intensive project research. Once at their destinations, students meet with government and business leaders to learn about topics ranging from socially responsible business practices in Brazil to entry strategies for multinational firms in China.

Before I begin I would like to thank the White House and First Lady Laura Bush for sponsoring this conference on teacher education and giving me the opportunity to share my experiences with you. It's an honor to speak to so many people who are dedicated to increasing opportunities for children. It's also wonderful for me to speak to a group of people where I don't have to begin by saying "If you can hear me touch your nose," or cleverly try to get your attention by saying "Who is listening?" and have you all answer by saying, "I am listening." So if you couldn't guess, I am a kindergarten teacher. There's a saying that goes something like: "Everything you ever needed to learn, you learned in kindergarten." This is, of course, just a little pressure for all of us who are teaching kindergarten! I do know that attending kindergarten taught me a lot of important lessons, but I think that teaching kindergarten has provided me with even more significant life-long lessons.

Extractions: Teaching in the UK Education in the UK has seen a great many changes in recent times. The Education Reform Act in 1988 introduced major changes in the British Education System, which included the introduction of a National Curriculum and national testing. The Department of Education and Employment (Dfee) was the central government office responsible for education in England. During June 2001 the Prime Minister of England announced the restructuring of the Department for Education and Employment to form a new Department to be called the Department for Education and Skills This department will now have the responsibility for education, training and life-long learning. The aim of this department is to improve the standards in the education system.

Educators selected for participation in the TEACH program will gain first-hand exposure and experience in agricultural scientific research on an expedition to an overseas destination. Teachers will use this international field experience to incorporate the teaching of agricultural science, tied to NYS standards, as well as agricultural careers and global studies in their individual classrooms and throughout NY Public Schools. In addition to the international scientific expeditions, participants will engage in pre-trip preparation and extended follow-up activities.
Teach US - Teachers Talk my experiences with my students and plan to continue of scientists, educators fromthe high school, and ministers The impact of this trip affected many aspects http://www.fas.usda.gov/icd/rsed/teach-us/teacherstalk.html
Extractions: July 26, 2001 thru August 18, 2001 by Ronnie Feder I was part of the Africa trip with TEACH. I loved so many things it is hard to select one...the animals and evening safaris were exciting and fun, and meeting some of the students at the Wildlife Center was a great opportunity for a mini cultural exchange. I think for me, the most meaningful experiences were the visits to schools and the opportunity to talk with teachers and even more, visit with the students. I gained a tremendous amount from the summer experience. I am only beginning to recognize many of the things. July 1, 2001 thru July 15, 2001 by Naima Freitas My experience in China will affect the way I teach my high school students about agriculture in the future. I now realize that the study of agriculture requires not only an awareness of plant, animal and soil science but also of environmental science, technology, history, economics, politics and culture. Though my students generally focus their studies on agriculture and environmental science within the United States, I think that it is educationally valuable to examine agriculture in both the U.S.A. and in China. The trip affected the way I think about learning. It reinforced the idea that people learn more effectively through experience. My trip to China not only taught me about agriculture in China: the concerns, research and techniques involved, but also about the culture. It was great to be able to see the actual research taking place. It was especially meaningful because I was able to speak with the scientists and researchers involved to learn about their rationale and hopes.

Extractions: Why Teach About Shorebirds? W ith all the curricula that already exist on specialized topics, the natural question arises, why should teachers use this one? While at first glance the focus appears to be on shorebirds only, a closer look reveals that these lessons teach a broad range of scientific concepts and offer a global connection to other students, scientists, and educators. Consider what makes this program unique. Shorebirds Are a Theme Easily Integrated into Many Subjects! The sheer magnitude of what shorebirds accomplish in their efforts to survive is truly amazing and a great tie in to numerous subjects. For example, Hawaii has a rich culture that incorporates its most well-known shorebird, the Kolea or Pacific-Golden Plover, into its chants, hulas, and folklore. The Kolea provides a great opportunity to teach about science, but it also brings in history and social studies. Calculating distances and mapping where these birds migrate also make great opportunities for bringing math and geography into the classroom in a relevant and fun way.

Extractions: It began with a casual query at a teacher conference. It was March 1994, and 100 physical science teachers from around the state were meeting at the Science Museum of Minnesota (SMM), in St. Paul. At the time, SMM hosted four teacher conferences a year, in partnership with the Minnesota Science Teachers Association (MnSTA). John Olson, a member of the conference organizing committee (and later a nominee for ASTC's Honor Roll of Teachers), pulled me aside after one of the sessions. "Our school board just passed a resolution that requires geologic time, paleontology, and evolution to be introduced to students in the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades," he said. "Our district's curriculum team needs to develop a plan and train a lot of teachers. Can the science museum help?"

Teach For America teachers and administrators in their schools to create systematic plans to significantly memberschaperone one another s field trips, participate in http://www.teachforamerica.org/phoenix.html
Extractions: Teach For America Phoenix corps members enjoy various living options. Most choose to reside in the central corridor of Phoenix proper, close to some Teach For America schools and many downtown attractions.This area also includes Phoenix's historic neighborhoods, Encanto Park, the Heard Museum, and the Phoenix Art Museum. Other corps members prefer to live in Tempe, approximately 20-25 minutes by car to some corps members' schools. With some corps members choosing to spend their free time dancing in hip hop, salsa, or '80s clubs, others preferring day trips to old mining towns, and still others heading for the ski slopes of Flagstaff, it is safe to say that whatever the interest, the Phoenix area can provide. Schools Several of the Phoenix schools in which Teach For America places corps members have been placed on three-year improvement plans as a result of low standardized test scores. These schools risk being closed at the end of this time period and re-opened with new leadership if they do not show significant improvements in student academic performance on the Stanford-9 standardized test. In response, some corps members have joined leadership and curriculum committees with veteran teachers and administrators in their schools to create systematic plans to significantly increase student achievement. Universally, all corps members are charged with the responsibility to make measurable gains in student achievement.
