“Student teaching abroad was a once in a lifetime experience! It was one of the best decisions I could have ever made to influence my education and career.

“Student teaching in Barcelona, Spain was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I recommend it to all those pursuing a teaching degree at WKU. The schools in Barcelona are very different, and being there gives you the chance to see education from another perspective, to adopt the strengths of each culture and to gain a deeper understanding of your students' cultural backgrounds. Being able to understand and respect your students is one of the most integral parts of teaching, and teaching abroad with an open mind allows you that opportunity.” Ashley Brown

"My time in Italy was a whirlwind of excitement that didn't cease from the moment I arrived in Milan to the moment I touched down again in America. The opportunity to teach in classrooms so different from the American classrooms I have always known was incomparable and opened my eyes to the various ways that students all around the world learn. I not only grew in the classroom, but also as a person. The Italian culture is so rich and deep in religion, art, and beauty. From the Colosseum to the Leaning Tower of Pisa to taking a gondola ride in Venice, my experiences in Italy are some that will always resonate in my mind as the best experiences of my life." Lauren White
