Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA): Traveling - Student Teachers in Costa Rica

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
My experience was definitely worthwhile. I learned an empathy for ELLs that I could not have learned otherwise. This trip inspired me to desire to learn Spanish. I will always refer to my trip and my knowledge that I gained when working with ELL or culturally different students. I will also encourage every future and current educator to go on a cross cultural learning adventure.

A Look Back

* What did you like most about the program?
  • traveling
  • night class
* What could be improved?
  • group icebreakers the first few days
* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? I should have brought a backpack instead of a hiking backpack. It was too big for day travel but worked perfect for our travel to other cities.
