Cultural Exchange Series Continues With Success 

As a part of the School Impact Program, sponsored by the Tennessee Office for Refugees, NICE has been hosting a summer series of Cultural Exchanges for Metro Nashville Public School teachers.  These programs involve speakers from several different cultures, and they discuss with the teachers about how their culture may influence a child's educational experience in the US school systems, and how teachers can be sensitive to these differences. Thus far, forty two teachers have participated in this series.
