This program was fantastic. I loved Charlotte and the Carolina International School. I learnt so much about classroom management and also curriculums within schools. I have gained many tools to use in my future teaching. It was an incredible learning experience. I learnt about American History & politics and how important that has been in shaping American systems of education. My favourite part was teaching the grade 3's.

Katie Eslick (Charles Sturt University):

Going to Charlotte was amazing.

Most of the academic side of the tour was completely new to me and seriously open my eyes to the numerous components of not only American education, but education around the world. It was fantastic that we got to learn, discuss and compare what we saw in the various schools that we visited.

The people, the city, the weather and some of the food is all what made this trip. Making friends with college students and staff, with the locals as well as the staff at the hotel made this trip much more relaxing and rewarding - culturally, socially, and academically.

Debbie Luckett (Victoria University):

it was the most invaluable experience that I have ever encountered. It has enriched both my personal and professional future. The program was a thoroughly enjoyable experience that allowed us to get a great insight into the American culture and school system/structure/history. It has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding for the issues faced in education worldwide and the different approaches which are being used. I would love to be a part of this program again if there is any possibility of gaining anymore credits with my course.
