"TOP is a public/private partnership that promotes awareness of Germany's contemporary contributions to society, politics, economy, and education - via its teaching materials, seminars, and study tours - to specific multiplier groups in North America."- (Taken from the TOP Facebook page) 

I am honored to have been afforded this immersive professional development experience. I look forward to inter-cultural dialogue and knowledge-gaining experiences within contemporary Germany on global issues like economics, migration, and sustainability for the purpose of designing relevant lessons for my students to examine on a local scale back in Missouri, USA.
