Don't just think outside the box – think outside the Hemisphere! Join the group bound for New Zealand, April 11-22, 2008.

Join Phi Delta Kappa International on an adventure to New Zealand that will enrich you both personally and professionally. From April 11-22, 2008, tour this astonishingly beautiful country's historical and cultural sites, visit schools, and meet with top education officials.

The highlight of the trip will be a visit to schools involved in the Te Kotahitanga Project, an initiative designed to examine why Maori students struggle in school and to identify strategies to boost their achievement. The project, described as a “win-win” for both teachers and students, demonstrates the impact of classroom environment on student engagement, academic achievement, and attendance. Could similar strategies improve minority student achievement in your community? Don't miss this opportunity to meet with the researchers and educators involved in this incredible effort – it will change the way you view yourself as an educator.

Cost for the trip is $3,925 double occupancy and includes:

• Round trip coach-class airfare from Los Angeles.
• Airport arrival and departure assistance.
• Hotel accommodations for nine nights.
• Nine breakfasts, two lunches, and three dinners.
• Porter service at the hotel.
