I like to think overseas educators are a special group. Interested in adventure, new cultures, travel and working in
schools with a group of students strongly motivated to learn.
I think Dr. Leigh Martin, today’s guest, might agree with my view.  Leigh runs the Master’s program in leadership for overseas educators for the University of Northern Iowa. Today we talk about what the program looks like, what the students look like and the future of education and professional development.

“I find overseas teachers are, by their very nature, interested in continued professional and personal growth.”
