This summer, our English Language Institute team traveled to Zambia for two weeks and partnered with WISE Zambia, a local NGO, to visit 4 schools in the rural western province. We conducted classroom observations, met with school officials and head teachers, and provided hands-on workshops focused on teaching methodologies and creative practices. In between school visits, our team was able to attend the graduation ceremony of a local teachers’ college, do some sightseeing, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
