As a social studies teacher, I can say that there is no doubt this will help her as a teacher and help her students. I have been to the Middle East, and Central America to teach and learn. Those trips, combined with my education from UNCW, were an enormous help to me and my students in the exploration of social studies.
Social studies seems to be a forgotten subject in middle schools, but it is vital in a child's educational development.
Having a teacher with first hand experience in the countries she will be teaching her students about is a huge asset for the teacher and the students.
