COMMENTS BY TEACHER<br />
TRAINING INSTITUTE PARTICIPANTS<br />
“I think it’s critical, it’s crucial<br />
actually, to teach international relations<br />
and American foreign policy in order<br />
for citizens to be informed, to create the<br />
change they want, and then to be part<br />
of that change.”<br />

✓ “The Great Decisions materials truly help<br />
my students understand the global role that<br />
America plays in dealing with foreign policy<br />
with other nations throughout the world.”<br />

✓ “The world can be extremely confusing for<br />
adults: we all know that. And even more so for<br />
students. Great Decisions puts issues into order<br />
for them, so students can analyze the world<br />
in a manner that brings many, many differences<br />
together and allows them to make decisions on<br />
BeaufortSea<br />
their own.”<br />
✓ “The lectures were all highly interesting,<br />
extremely clear and of an extremely high caliber.<br />
Presenters brought great insight and varied<br />
perspectives on the topics covered. Curriculum<br />
sessions were very valuable, as they permitted<br />
educators in the field an opportunity to share<br />
ideas and brainstorm activities. Utilizing a K-12<br />
approach was worthwhile in understanding the<br />
continuum of studies on all levels.”<br />
✓ “The <strong>Foreign</strong> <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Association</strong>’s commitment<br />
to helping teachers become better facilitators<br />
of global understanding, as well as the<br />
exposure to the excellent speakers and ideas,<br />
was inspirational. I look forward to incorporating<br />
the Great Decisions program into my studies<br />
and will encourage others to do the same.”<br />
✓ “I’ve found that a lot of the students we<br />
deal with really want to know what’s going on.<br />
They’ll hear about something on the news, or<br />
they’ll see something that’s going on in the<br />
world, and they’ll really want to know why it’s<br />
going on. Great Decisions does a good job in<br />
framing issues in a way so that you can get<br />
either the basic understanding and focus on the<br />
big themes or, if you choose, go more in depth.”<br />
