Professional Goals and Cultural Development Objectives

I will collaborate and effectively communicate with the principal and teachers at Green Bay School in order to learn about the country and school's goals and objectives in education.

I will enthusiastically experience various teaching styles and then adapt what I learn and integrate it with my own teaching style.

I will emerge myself in the New Zealand culture and be respectful and eager to learn more about it.

I will reflect and learn about my own strengths and weaknesses as a teaching professional and woman from the United States.

I will develop intercultural communication skills through speaking with a wide variety of individuals who are native to New Zealand.

I will push myself to go out of my comfort zone in and out of the classroom atmosphere in order to take away the most I can from the international experience.

I will form personal relationships with my host family, colleagues, students, and new friends.
