LINDA ARLAND: LESSON PLANS FROM THE NILE
Linda Arland Shares Sabbatical Travels to Egypt and Jordan
With a deep-rooted passion for nurturing young minds, Linda Arlands's dedication to her role as a kindergarten teacher at Bertschi for over 25 years is unwavering. In her own words, she finds something inherently captivating about the developmental journey of five and six-year-olds, where the boundaries between concrete reality and boundless imagination blur. Embarking on a journey beyond the familiar confines of the classroom, Linda spent her recent sabbatical in the ancient lands of Egypt and Jordan. Linda’s class followed her travels in real time, learning alongside their teacher despite the distance.
Egypt was fascinating and for me, quite intense. Life in Egypt depends on the Nile River. Approximately 96% of Egypt is desert.
Bertschi School's sabbatical program is a commitment to continuous growth and enrichment. Faculty are afforded the invaluable opportunity to temporarily step away from their regular duties, immersing themselves in diverse learning experiences that span the globe. Upon their return, faculty members bring back a wealth of knowledge, fresh perspectives, and innovative ideas that infuse new vitality into the school community.
