TEACH-NOW Success Story: Adam Carter

In this video, TEACH-NOW graduate Adam Carter describes the reasons he chose TEACH-NOW, why the on-line modules and virtual classes were so beneficial, and the myriad of ways TEACH-NOW helped him become an accomplished international teacher.

Mr Carter was very happy to be able to complete his teaching certification while teaching overseas, as he was even able to complete his 3 months of student teaching while abroad. He thoroughly enjoyed not only learning about digital tools, but also using them in his TEACH-NOW coursework, as he became comfortable using these tools, which he now uses regularly in the classroom. He also enjoyed the virtual classes, as he was connected with teachers from around the world. He is currently teaching middle school social studies at a top-notch international school in Egypt.
