I am a graduate of Volgograd State Pedagogical University and a professor of Teacher Education at Central Michigan University. I taught for 2 years at the elementary level in Volgograd and have been actively involved with schools in Michigan through research activities and supervising student teachers. I started this project to help American and Russian students gain access to exchanging their teaching experiences and ideas. I hope I can contribute by sharing my knowledge of both systems and by facilitating and narrating the dialogue between cultures.
Natalia, I’d like to thanke you for such interesting idea and experience. We enjoyed our skype meeting, it was brilliant!!
Alina, I have to equally thank you. You and your friends did an amazing job representing Russia, VSPU and teaching profession. My students thought it was a great experience, they wanted to keep talking!
