WKU Art Education Student Featured on WBKO
Natasha Bridges who recently completed the WKU International Student Teaching Program at Kyung Hee Elementary School in Seoul, South Korea, was featured on the “Views from the Hill” segment of the WBKO, Bowling Green, KY news station. The interview focused on her teaching art and English to non-English speaking students while student teaching abroad. WKU in recent years opened many doors for P-12 pre-service teachers by placing them overseas far from home to teach. Upon return, these international student teachers all share the life changing experiences beyond they could have ever imagined.
