Dreaming in Education: Countries on My Mind

What countries do you want to visit?

Being here in Peru has reignited my passion for learning about global education systems. I feel incredibly blessed to have already explored educational practices in Ghana, Belize, Finland, Estonia, and Sweden. Each country has offered new insights and expanded my view of what’s possible in teaching and learning.

But my journey is far from over. I still have a deep desire to continue learning, observing, and connecting. Some countries I’m eager to visit next include:

New Zealand, Australia, Japan, China, South Korea, South Africa, and Ethiopia

And of course, if I ever had the opportunity to explore Antarctica, that would be a once-in-a-lifetime dream.

I’m especially interested in these countries’ approaches to:

Literacy rates and strategies

Robotics

STEM instruction

Special education support

Teacher preparation and development

Education is a global language. Every system has its own story, and I’m committed to listening, learning, and bringing those stories back to my classroom and community.
