“Emanuel F. Harper IV crosses international borders every day. ‘In class, I expose my students to French culture and to the idea that people in other parts of the world live and do things differently than we do,’ says Harper, who teaches French and is the academic accountability and data coordinator at Herron High School in Indianapolis, Indiana. He has long been curious about educational practices in other countries and wondered what practices already in place elsewhere might help him and other American teachers become better at what they do. In November, Harper got to find out. He was one of 80 educators from Australia, Canada, Finland, Holland, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States to attend the Summit on Feedback and Improving Teacher Practice in Washington D.C.”
