We also discussed the countries that people were emigrating from then vs. now.” Working in groups of four, students conducted interviews with faculty and staff hailing from 24 different countries like South Africa, Greece, Colombia, Hong Kong, and Peru. 🌎 β€œStudents had the opportunity to sit in conference rooms [with the adult interviewees] and to practice communication skills like speaking clearly, asking questions, π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ 𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔,” Ms. Shamblin emphasized. They loved watching their finished projects and enthusiastically supported their peers’ hard work too. Charlotte Latin gained national attention when NAIS naisnetwork published a feature, titled β€œImmigrant Stories” in their Spring 2024 magazine.

We are so proud of our students and faculty, including Kelly Willis, Director of Global Studies; Meghan Rinehart, Lower School Librarian; Maggie Shamblin, Grade 3 Lead Teacher; and Sara Best, Lower School Education Technologist. Their successful collaboration not only improved teaching and learningβ€”by building a more comprehensive academic unit that integrated global competencies with a project-based approachβ€”but also deepened relationships that continue to strengthen our school community. #hawksflyhigh #hawksflytogether ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 297 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 3 ## Tags hawksflytogether, hawksflyhigh --- Copyright (c) Gondola
