York High School teacher Amy Holtschneider and Principal Dr. Peggie Constantino visited Washington D.C. in February to take part in the Teachers for Global Classrooms Program’s (TGC) Global Education Symposium. They are among a group of 160 educators selected to participate in the event, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA).

 

The Teachers for Global Classrooms Program is an exchange and professional development opportunity for secondary school teachers. The program’s goal is to give teachers the experience and skills to advance their schools’ global education practices, internationalizing teaching and learning in their classrooms.

 

Participants apply through the non-profit organization IREX. Once selected, teachers complete an online course, attend the symposium and then spend 2-3 weeks in a foreign country. Mrs. Holtschneider will travel to Kazakhstan.
