Teachers Say

“As a teacher, I especially appreciate my students’ in-depth exploration of an issue. As with most exploration, the unexpected discoveries along the journey are often the most important.”
—C. Elnicki, middle school teacher

“It is rare that students are asked to look at a real-world problem and come up with their own solution. The World Affairs Challenge helps students realize that we live in a global community.”
—Anonymous teacher

“The fact that there are different components – individual, formal presentation and collaborative question – is what I like most about the World Affairs Challenge.”
—L. Eaton, middle school teacher
