Hello my name is Stephanie Toliver!
I am in my senior year, and am currently doing my student teaching in Charlotte, NC at Endhaven Elementary school in a wonderful fifth grade classroom. After 10 weeks of teaching at Endhaven, I will have the opportunity to go to Nicoya, Costa Rica and complete my student teaching.
Student Teaching in Costa Rica will allow for me to learn about another culture, which will help me become a better teacher in the future. When I heard about international student teaching I knew that I would really like to teach in a country that had mostly spanish speaking natives. This will help me learn the language and also if in the future if I have an ESL student I can have more of an understanding on what it is like to not speak the primary language in an area.
