Travel

I chose this guiding question because I am deeply curious about how education can empower students to take ownership of their communities and the broader world. In my classroom, I focus on cultivating student voice, agency, and curiosity through exploration, storytelling, and meaningful engagement with real-world issues. By examining how Senegalese schools prepare students to shape the world they are inheriting, I hope to learn how cultural traditions, literacy practices, and attention to local and global challenges support student empowerment. Ultimately, this inquiry will inform my own practice as I seek to inspire students to become thoughtful, engaged, and globally aware changemakers. 

Stay tuned as I investigate this guiding question during my international field placement in Senegal in April 2026.
