Monique Hodges also partnered with local schools to coordinate field placements for the teachers. During weekly visits, they observed teachers in New Orleans schools and learned various instructional strategies, including cooperative learning and classroom management techniques. They also learned about developing Professional Learning Communities (PLC’s). The teachers wrote reflections throughout their seven-week visit. Mrs. Hodges collected and provided feedback to each of these reflections.
In her final reflection, Aracelis wrote,”If we worked together, our students’ lives and perhaps our nation would be so different by now. I am really thankful for having been chosen to visit this school because it helped me to build my new mind for teaching and learning in my country.”
