Love, Gringas' Class Photos, and a Chilean Educational Lens by Leah Katherine Saal

 Love ~ the most commonly used word by LSU Chile students & participants in their final interviews/reflections.  Love is taught and felt between and among the faculty, staff, and students at Thomas Jefferson School. Check it out in the pictures of our students and their classes!

Mr. Hector, Meredith's teacher, was ill the entire time we were in Chile. Meredith taught his classes.  We wish him a speedy recovery!

Miss Leah & Miss Deanna with Ms. Lorena (their teacher). So many thanks to her for all her help!

Ms Catherine & Ms Cecelia (the ladies behind the scenes at TJS).  Without them, this would not have been possible!



My final reflections from my Chilean educational lens:

  1. To teach effectively is to teach clearly, directly, and actively in a multisensory format.

  2. To teach is an outward expression of your received love from and given love for humanity.
