Cultural Development Objectives

My Cultural Development Objectives:

1. To experience different teaching practices and styles and look at Education from a whole new perspective
2. To emerge myself in a new culture and be open to the different, and new experiences I may encounter in and out of the classroom
3. To expose my students to the American culture and gain knowledge from them about the Australian way of life
4. Step out of my comfort zone and really embrace the experience I am going to have—It is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I want to someday bring back to my own classroom the culture knowledge that I gain
5. To be more aware of my strengths and weaknesses as a person and teacher
6. To better understand the outside view of the United States and use this knowledge to my advantage when returning to teaching here.
