Returning from an educator’s tour of Turkey, three Anchorage school district teachers and a UAA professor share what they learned abroad and how it will be incorporated into their Anchorage classrooms. Sponsored by the Turkish Cultural Foundation and the Alaska World Affairs Council, Alex Bortnick, Irene Bortnick, April Susky and John Trampush were chosen to participate in the first annual Teacher Study Tour to Turkey program this past summer. Representing all levels of Anchorage educators, from kindergarten, to high school to a university professor, this week on AWAC Presents, local teachers reflect on their Turkish travels and share how it will be used to enhance Anchorage’s school curriculum and our students understanding of Turkey. Listen now and follow along with the photos from the trip, presented and taken by the Anchorage teachers.
