Rachel Clarke, Kensington Elementary
School: Clarke, principal
of Kensington Elementary in Waxhaw travelled to Turkey on a
program for North Carolina Educators through World View in
Chapel Hill. Her experience will allow Clarke to educate her
school community first-hand on Turkish people and culture
though a variety of interactive opportunities. Clarke’s goal
is to witness her staff incorporating globalization in their
classrooms as a part of everyday activity, not just as an
“extra.”
