JALU AND 11 INDONESIAN SECONDARY EDUCATORS IN USA

From June 9 to July 20, I was at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst MA USA to participate in the "2005 Study of the United State Institute for Secondary Educators." This summmer program was sponsored by the US Departement of State and aimed to promote mutual understanding between the two countries to get deeper understanding in goverment, education, and social-cultural perspectives. The program was a classroom discussion on American education and goverment. We visited to some schools in the district of Amherst to observe the process of learning-teaching and had some talks with the teachers and student. We also had a great tour to Cincinnati, Washington, and New York City. Professor Jeffrey Sedgwick, from UMass is our Academic Project Director and Dr. Michael Hannahan, is the Administrative Director of the Program.
