My Nonprofit Reviews

Had the wonderful pleasure of working again this year with the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh. Early in the school year my students participated in a video conference. The preparation guide was so thorough and also extremely manageable. My students were exceptionally prepared, but I did not have to relinquish a large amount of class time. In February I took a group of students to compete at the Academic World Quest. The competition never disappoints. It is both challenging and fun for all involved. Thank you World Affairs for giving both my students and myself a way to extend our learning.

The World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh has provided my students the opportunity to experience global connections without leaving the building. The Council puts forth video conference opportunities open to students 9-12 whereby each learner researches, prepares, and discusses pertinent world issues using modern technology and teachers as facilitators. As a World Geography and Cultures instructor this fruitful involvement with learners from the global community provides genuine and authentic learning. Without the Council’s incentives and support my students would have missed a true cultural experience.
