What did this globally-minded student have to say?

From a Neveh Channah student after receiving peer review from a student from LCC:

"Thank you for taking the time to read my paper. I was touched by your warm words and the gentle criticism. Yes, some of the spelling should be edited and I didn't want to

burden the reader with too many details and information....

I would love to host you here in Jerusalem and to join you personally on a walking tour through the streets of

Nachlaot."

These partnerships provide opportunities for students to "be human together" (Siemens)

Karen Guth - teacher at Neveh Channah School in Etzion Bloc, Israel:

"I would say that this became a project that engaged the minds, skills, and hearts of our students. It turned the English

Bagrut project into an international research, writing, thinking, and teaching opportunity."

Page 23: Lets Go Global

"From all of the work that we have done with other students, I have learned how to look over other people's

work and let them edit my own.

From working with other students, I also learned how to be patient and not always want things to happen at the exact moment I would like them to, but rather wait and spend

more time on something to make it even better."

- Matthew, grade 7
