🌍📚 A classroom moment that went beyond the lesson plan
RVP International Teacher Wilson Ochieng Miruka, a SPED teacher at Roosevelt Middle School (New Bedford Public Schools), brought his students closer to Kenya through a cultural “Show and Tell” experience, sharing stories, traditions, and even a live virtual connection with students in Kenya. 🇰🇪✨
Through his activity, “A Day in Kenya,” students explored culture, history, and global perspectives in a way that made learning both meaningful and memorable.
As shared in The Roosevelt Report:
“Students showed a lot of interest… and were open to sharing more about their culture here in the United States.”
Experiences like this show how powerful it is when teachers bring their full identity into the classroom, creating space for curiosity, inclusion, and genuine connection. Through the RVP-USTeach program, educators like Wilson help make learning truly global.
