You’ve heard of exchange students – how about exchange teachers? More than a dozen of them from the other side of the Pacific have just visited Explorer West Middle School (WSB sponsor), and Amy French shared photos along with this report:

Earlier this week, Explorer West Middle School hosted 14 Japanese teachers for an unique, educational exchange opportunity as part of the The Japan-U.S. Teacher Exchange Program for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). The visiting teachers participated in small-group discussions with Explorer West students and faculty about topics of sustainability and how it is taught at Explorer West.

They also learned about the school’s Outdoor Education Program. For more information about this teacher exchange program, visit www.iie.org/Programs/ESD. To learn more about Explorer West’s Sustainability Program, visit explorer-west.org/sustainability.
