    Add diversity, perspective, and bring a global community/citizenship to the classroom #bcedchat
  • nathan_stevens Apr 30 @ 10:08 PM EDT
    A1 most of the time students are a little more accepting that helps international students adjust. And getting to know Bryn helps #bcedchat
    In reply to @brynmw
  • courtenaysee Apr 30 @ 10:09 PM EDT
    A1: Intl S's create more of a global community in the school. Open up local Ss worldviews. #bcedchat

    In reply to @rilmcknight
  • Halessharon Apr 30 @ 10:10 PM EDT
    A1 I'm interested in what others have to say. When a school is already culturally diverse, many cultures are already shared. #bcedchat
  • ChristineYH Apr 30 @ 10:10 PM EDT
    A1. Cultural diversification. Show & share pride in our community. Chance for Ss to teach & learn. Puts a new lens on learning. #bcedchat

    Q2: How do you welcome your international students to your school/community? Is this different from other new students? #bcedchat
  • rilmcknight Apr 30 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A1 a great catalyst for other Ss to participate in school and out of school activities #bcedchat
  • emilyeastman90 Apr 30 @ 10:13 PM EDT

    In reply to @brynmw
  • technolandy Apr 30 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A1 perspectives. Lots of similarities. Many differences. Hmmm kind of like every classroom! #bcedchat

  • nathan_stevens Apr 30 @ 10:20 PM EDT

    In reply to @ChristineYH
  • MsVanBalkom Apr 30 @ 10:20 PM EDT

    In reply to @brynmw, @MsVanBalkom
  • MsVanBalkom Apr 30 @ 10:24 PM EDT

    In reply to @GeofferyKehrig
  • ChristineYH Apr 30 @ 10:26 PM EDT
