What do you want to know?

As part of my visit, I will spend a week in  Ait Melloul, with a US teacher and a local host teacher. We will be in a classroom for a week and have been told that Moroccan students are very curious about the United States. Please comment about some of your favorite things as a teenager: music, vacation spots, food, school subjects, sports, movies, anything!

How did I wind up bound for Morocco?

In  2012, I learned about an opportunity through IREX and the Department of State for teachers in the United States. The program selected experienced teachers to globalize their curriculum through training and coursework as well as an international field experience. Each year I would get a notice that applications were open, and each year I made an excuse as to why I couldn't go. Early 2015 came another noticed and I decided to do it before I could talk myself out of it. I worked my way through the rigorous application process and was thrilled when I learned in June 2015 that I was one of 72 teachers in the United States selected as a fellow in the program.
