Introduction

Hello everybody!

I am Andry Cordoba Díaz, an English teacher from Colombia. I am extremely happy for being selected to participate in the Teaching Excellent and Achievement program. It is organized by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the U.S. Department of State. and  provides international teachers with an opportunity to enhance their teaching skills and increase their knowledge about the United States. The TEA program is a six-week customized academic program that includes seminars on curriculum development, lesson planning, instructional technology, and new teaching methodologies. Fellows participate in a practicum in a U.S. secondary school, working closely with US teachers and students. The program provides cultural enrichment, mentoring, and support."

This blog aims at recording all my insights, perceptions, learnings, personal reflection and commitments generated in our seminars at George Mason University GMU in Virigina, US.
