The Start of Something Extraordinary

Welcome!  This is the chronicle of a teacher from Oklahoma, going on an educational adventure to Morocco.  Interestingly enough, that's how this blog got its title.  Enjoy reading and if you have any do's or don'ts for travel in Morocco, post a reply.  Thank you!

This story began in the spring of 2015 when the International Research Exchange Board (IREX) and Teachers for Global Classrooms (TGC) selected teacher applicants from across the U.S..  IREX & TGC, along with the U.S. Department of State, facilitate international field experiences (IFE) for TGC Fellows.  After an 8-week online graduate course in Global Education, the fellows meet together in Washington D.C. for a symposium.  The fellows are divided into travel cohorts and sent to schools around the world in places like Georgia, The Philippines, Senegal, Columbia, Brazil and of course Morocco.

So, at this writing, Okie in Morocco is set to travel to D.C. where the learning continues.

Thanks for joining in the fun at the head of the trail,...
