The British Have Arrived!

Student Teachers from Hope-Liverpool University, Liverpool England

It is that time of the year when we host student teachers from Hope Liverpool University. Each May term, Hope College participates in an exchange program with Hope Liverpool.  Just as we host their teacher candidates, Liverpool Elementary Schools host Hope College teacher candidates.

The goal of the program is to help these future teachers experience global teaching and Liverpool emblemlearning settings and through that experience understand the commonalities and differences in helping all learners to achieve.

Over the past three years, we have hosted 30 student teachers.   This year, we will host 15 teacher candidates and they will be placed in grades 1-5 and PE.  Some student teachers you may hear about: Miss Mikaela Clarke, Miss Sophie Clarke, Miss Amy Durman,  Mr. Thomas Faulkner, Miss Chloe Leech, Miss Lindsay McQueen, Miss Abigail Warburton and Miss Hannah Whales.

Cheerio, Mate!

Our student teachers from Liverpool, England have arrived!  During the first day, we learned that they speak the same language as we do….and that they have a fun accent.

Many of the teachers have posted welcome photos on their classroom blogs.  If you child has a student teacher placed in his/her classroom, be sure to listen for a British accent to emerge over the next two weeks!

The British Spend a Week at our School

During the week of May 19, 2009, we were honored to host nine student teachers from Liverpool Hope University. These student teachers participated in a Hope College May Term student exchange experience, and our school was one of the host sites.

Each student teacher was placed in a classroom for one week to learn as much as possible about the American educational system. You can view this slide show to meet each of them. Many thanks to Hope College for allowing us to host these AWESOME and BRILLIANT individuals! We will miss them!
