 Kon nichi wa (hello), my name is Shelly Jones. I am a science teacher at Lakewood Middle School here in North Little Rock. I was privileged enough to visit Japan this summer for three weeks through the Japan Fulbright Memorial Teacher Program. This program is completely funded by the Japanese government to encourage a better understanding of its culture, education, and government system. They believe that through my visit, along with the other 159 educators that were selected to travel there, we would be able to share our unique experiences with our communities, families, and most importantly our students,
so that they could then understand Japanese life a little better. It is
important for us as educators to help prepare our students to be global learners.
The more we understand about each other’s lives the more we can begin to appreciate
our differences and soon realize that we truly do have more in common than we
ever imagined.
