Visited 3 different kinds of schools Taught English/culture lessons
Host family Independent
Research
TOPIC: WHY ARCHITECTURE?
Ethnographic Research (Learning Commons Research Team) Learning spaces and student opinion Architecture and design can effect learning!
What can I learn about this in France? Do they value the same things? What do their schools look like? How do they set their classrooms up?

MY EXPERIENCE
Very different from teaching style I saw in France Raise a hand? Huh?
Team work
Student-led discussions
CONCLUSION: WHO WINS?
That’s not the point! But, I win (my students, too!)
Critically look at both situations and ask “What works for me?”
Incorporate both sides of comparison into my daily classroom routine
