Introduction of Workshop Participants (PIs
and K-12 Teachers)
Participants will describe their international experience — where,
when, and why they chose to participate
Discussion Questions for Small Groups:
- Why is an international experience important for
GK-12 participants?
- What do international experiences for GK-12 participants
look like? Are they different depending upon the
participant (teacher, fellow, STEM faculty)?
- Does the region visited depend upon the participant?
Are certain regions better than others for teachers,
fellows, STEM faculty?
- What are the challenges in international collaborations/activities?
- How should the international activities criteria
for the GK-12 program be modified so that they are
more inclusive?
- How do we make international activities more attractive
to the GK-12 community?
