LETS GO GLOBAL!

Hi!  I'm Sandra Lins and I am a teacher in Denver, Colorado.  I teach 4th and 5th grade math and science at Dora Moore ECE.  Two years ago I submitted an application to IREX for the chance to be rewarded an opportunity to learn more about how to create a classroom of global learners.  In addition to taking an online class, I would also get the chance to go to a sister country and work in the classroom with a host teacher and share my learning as well as gain experience that I could bring back to my classroom.  I was one of a small number of recipients to be awarded this amazing opportunity!!! So this year I am headed to India and I am excited to share my experience with everyone!  Thanks for joining me!!!!!

​

My guiding question for my time in India is "What motivates you to learn and grow educationally?  Is it intrinsic or extrinsic or both?".  I have also decided to include on my website examples of how young people can make a difference because I believe they can change the world if motivated.  I want to be able to reach my students and help them learn what motivates them and to tie in the global aspect.  They can make a difference locally and globally for the betterment the whole world!!
