The former Head of the Northwest School is very involved in the founding of a high school in Addis Ababa: the International Leadership Academy of Ethiopia. ILAE's ultimate goal is to attract top students from all over the country, from all backgrounds, and offer them a world class education. I've been invited to teach a spring and summer prep program to 8th graders, potential members of ILAE's first 9th grade!
I started this blog in South Africa while I was in Cape Town on a Fulbright award (in 2010). That experience was great and followed up a summer trip to Cape Town in 2008. The 2008 trip was to do a digital story-telling project at the Hector Peterson Secondary School. It was written up nicely in the Northwest School news magazine, and the article can still be viewed on the school website. Seattle-based Bridges To Understanding organized that trip and has a great website with information on their programs and examples of digital stories from students at their partner sites around the world.
