Immanuel Lutheran School, Batavia has been invited to participate in an exciting educational exchange program through which the school will host two teachers for three weeks between Feb. 20 and Mar. 16. The teachers’ names are Yan Hao and Meichen Zhou, and they are from Chang Chun City in the Jilin province of China.
The teachers will observe and assist in elementary and middle school classrooms, hoping to gain exposure to American education and culture and to improve their English language skills. They are also looking forward to sharing Chinese language (Mandarin), art, and cultural studies with Immanuel’s classes. Not only is this a wonderful educational and cultural opportunity, but it is also a wonderful ministry opportunity because of religious restrictions in some foreign countries.
This opportunity was offered to Immanuel through Attitudinal Dynamics International, Inc., of which Dr. Bob Libka is president. Libka is a retired principal from Trinity Lutheran School, Roselle, Illinois. He started this company because of his desire to build cultural, educational, and missional connections between students and educators around the world.
