Dr. Howard Elementary School welcomed a delegation of educators and administrators from Kazakhstan, hosted by the University of Illinois Global Education & Training.
The group, made up of teachers, school leaders, and local government administrators, is spending two weeks in the U.S. to explore the American education system.
Their visit included a tour of Dr. Howard guided by Principal Samantha Turner with a University of Illinois translator. We’re excited to share our classrooms and build global connections in education!
