Leaving Konya for Kappadocia and my thoughts

We are leaving for Kappadocia and a two night stay, it will be nice as we have lived the nomad life stly for a good part of our travels. Trip is winding down and most of us are sad, Turkey has been an amazing experience, more than could have ever been expected. Turkish Cultural Foundation have gone above and beyond in hosting 28 teachers for this educational exchange. Logistics have been perfect, scheduling and rescheduling for our benefit and comfort was exceptional. Orhan, our tour guide, was a delight. He is extremely knowledgable and informative in a very humorous manner. Our teachers group is eclectic with teachers from many social studies disciplines and grade levels.  Have teachers from Colorado, Hawaii, New Mexico, Virginia, Florida, Texas, Illinois, Maryland, D.C. It has been interesting to hear about each state and what the assessment requirements are to compare to Colorado. Lots off great ideas from this group that I will be able to take to the classroom later this year.

I look forward to collaborating with them when we get home.
