103. How can we enhance student learning through cultural exposure? with Megan Helberg

A recent study on global service learning programs revealed that cultural immersion experiences can transform students’ perceptions of themselves and others far beyond what traditional classroom learning provides. How can we encourage students to be curious about the world outside of their local community? How do travel experiences enhance student learning inside of the classroom? And what role should schools and teachers have in providing cultural learning opportunities to our students to further expand their worldview?   In this episode, Kevin discusses how we can encourage student cultural exposure and learning with Nebraska’s 2020 Teacher of the Year, Megan Helberg.
