I have been invited to be part of an educational research delegation to South Africa! The U.S. and South Africa share similar struggles in educating our youth. The delegation will provide an opportunity for educators from the U.S. to learn firsthand how South Africa is addressing educational problems that are increasingly international in scope. The hope is that we can learn from each other and create possibilities for future collaborations.
