Waving Not Drowning (Yet)

From Master’s in Teaching candidate Lisa Cabias. It’s here. Yes, my full control teaching time has arrived. Being a global educator sounds awfully snazzy, I understand, however this is no vacation. New Zealand is beautiful but primarily I’m here to work hard and learn to be an outstanding teacher. Tours, trips, and wanderings come after tuition…
Dare to Make a Difference

City University of Seattle’s Alumni and Development Director shared this great news with the CityU of Seattle community this morning, and we just couldn’t keep quiet about it. The “Dare to Make a Difference” fundraising campaign is more than half way to its goal of $25,000 thanks in part by a $10,000 donation by CityU…
Surf’s Up!

From Master’s in Teaching candidate Lisa Cabias. I experienced weekend adventuring at its finest, emphasis on “adventure”, upon taking a weekend trip up north to Gisborne. Gisborne is located on the east coast of the north island of New Zealand and is known for having some of the safest surf in the world (reasonably free…
The Chaos of Weekend Traveling

From Master’s in Teaching candidate Kate Peterson. The Little Red Hen was a success! My students put on a great assembly and I recorded the whole skit on video but I’m sad to report that I was asked not to post it online due to school policy. Allow me to recap some of the highlights:…

Among them, a beach trip, a tour of the local landfill and a…

From Master’s in Teaching candidate Lisa Cabias. Subtle differences in the everyday things of life are a reality at the moment here in Napier, New Zealand. I consider myself quite fortunate to have already been student of kiwi culture during a six day excursion down under on a previous journey. This puts me in a…
Prato della Valle: My pop-a-wheely fail

From Master’s in Teaching candidate Kate Peterson. While cruising around town recently on my bicycle, which I’ve lovingly named Stella, something silly happened. Here’s the story: The local park Prato della Valle has a stream running around the perimeter. Four bridges lead to a central fountain in a plus-shaped fashion. Vendors sell fruits and veggies…
Commencement Preparations Have Begun!

Hello, Napier.

From Master’s in Teaching candidate Lisa Cabias. After three flights, two 4-hour layovers and very little sleep I arrived in Napier, New Zealand right on schedule! I was greeted in the small airport by my host Judie and my placement supervisor Leigh. What a sunny place! I know that, south of the equator, we are…
