Midwest Conference of the Comparative and International Education Society{CIES}

Reflecting back to the conference, I was much impressed by the presentation of Dr. Lee about Teachers and Teacher Education and especially the topic Teachers of minorities as Agents of change: I think the topic concerns us a lot as future leaders and the presenter focus on the role a teacher does to make change. She said a teacher can contribute a lot in peace building and especially women teachers can lead or teach well, she added that a qualify teacher can act as agent of change firstly by making the change in him/herself and become an advocacy, secondly he can make change on students academic success and in educational system whereby he can make the school as a place of transformation and make appropriate changes in the curriculum that fits the school. So I feel like the presentation was done for the 14 of us to be the agents of change in south Sudan after completing our Masters program and take the knowledge and skills we are going to obtain. So ladies don’t you think we can be the change makers of South Sudan beside all the challenges we will face?

  1. I'm glad you enjoyed Dr. Lee's presentation about being a change agent. I'm sure it will be a challenging experience. Dr. Dan has spoken about narrowing your focus and working to affect the things you can change and Arlene spoke about the power you and your cohort will have with this in mind what might you like to focus on?

    Thank you for sharing your experience with the conference! Very well stated!

  2. Yes Lucy, I think together we can make something as each one of us will do something that he is interested in with the different ideas that we have and to apply the knowledge that we've gained from this Master program, little by little and step by step such that we can come out with good results that will impact our communities. We have been born for such a time!

  3. Yes Lucy we can be change makers. I remember Dr lee made several interesting points about teachers and am proud you brought them out, that's brilliant.I strongly agree and that's why it's said that 'Teachers should be exemplary' if you want to change others, you must start by changing yourself.that's a big challenge.we need to learn a lesson form it.
