Teachers Benefit
from Mexico
Sister City Exchange
March 21, 2005
Julia Robin, Plano West Senior High School ESL teacher, and Kathleen
Carnahan, Hendrick Middle School Spanish teacher, were recently immersed
in a Plano Sister Cities International exchange with teachers in San
Pedro Garza Garcia, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. The pair taught English to
students from March 6 through 12 in secondary schools and fielded
questions of students and teachers about the United States, Texas
and Plano.
Plans are underway to receive two teachers from San Pedro Garza Garcia
in Plano ISD this spring to continue the teacher exchange, which capitalizes
on the educational strengths of both cities. Julia Robin, who has
been teaching for four years, holds a bachelor’s degree in Spanish
and English. She says that many of her students call Mexico “home.” Katy
Carnahan, a first-year teacher who holds a bachelor’s degree
in Spanish said that this was her first trip to Mexico. She looks
forward to sharing her personal experiences with students.
