Volunteer English Teacher

Shawna Lee spent one week during Christmas 2012 volunteering with the Volunteer English Teacher (V.E.T.) program.  She taught oral English working with grades 4, 5 and 6 at a public elementary school in the countryside of Yangshuo, Guangxi, China.  Working in one of the most beautiful places in the world with children eager to learn through tactile experiences, this teaching experience reinforced personal teaching philosophies and values as an educator trained in emergent curriculum.
