Testimonials & Quotes:

“Attending the EF Global Symposium in Boston was another layer of knowledge I could add to my learning experience. Not only was I able to hear from Amanda Ripley herself, but I also walked away with several new insights from other speakers that I can apply to my studies as well as take back to my own school as a teacher.”

“Not only did I find it beneficial to hear from the various speakers, but I thought it equally as important to be able to talk with other educators and see what they are doing and what is working in their schools. I have also booked a trip to Italy and Greece through EF for our high school students, again trying to promote diversity and global awareness.”

"The Finland session was so engaging it went really quickly. I just wanted more time to engage with the presenter! He provided such practical information and in such a short period of time. He also provided us with some valuable networking time to engage with our colleagues. He is such a dynamic speaker and to hear how he is challenging his students to think creatively and not just regurgitate an answer is inspiring!!”

Amy Miller, Ohio

 

"I plan to share my experience at the EF Global Education Symposium with my colleagues in order to help them develop plans to create more global schools. i know that some of our secondary schools are already preparing to participate in trips for their middle and high school students, but in elementary, the schools can provide them with meaningful activities that enhance global learning.”

“I will be meeting with our District Curriculum Instructor. I have already spoken with a few teachers in my building; we discussed forming a District Global Committee consisting of two people per building. On the way home, the Spanish teacher and myself created a list of realistic ways we could shift our school district into a global school district. I am also scheduled to speak at the January Board Meeting where I will share my professional development training from Barcelona and Boston as well give them an update on our student trip with EF to Italy and Greece this spring.”

“It was all great and thanks so much for giving me the opportunity. The speakers were all so inspirational! I could listen to Ferdinand Reimers all day, and I also got a lot out of listening to the keynote speaker. I also enjoyed and was inspired by the speakers from Singapore, Finland and Poland as well. EF Tours is so impressive. I am grateful to be a part of it all.”

Lauren Silver, NH

 

“I cannot begin to thank you enough. EF has made me feel right at home w/my thoughts and dreams. Most of all you have welcomed me into a family that share the same views. How life changing was this weekend, I can't begin to describe. I think it will be best shown in my actions from this point forward.”
