Jinan, Shandong, Peoples Republic Of China

I worked for two years alongside a local Chinese Director to develop an International Center High School that focuses on preparing students for successful transitions into colleges in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia as well as other universities outside of China. We designed standards and purchased new curriculum to integrate the USA Common Core English Language Arts and European Common Framework standards, while at the same time expanding both Advanced Placement and Cambridge A-Level course offerings. We also accomplished major goals in developing a standardized and rigorous high school transcript process during my tenure. It was a wonder opportunity to see education from a different perspective than my US training had allowed. Honored with the Quencheng Friendship award for service to Jinan City and its residents.
