In this episode, Samantha speaks with Amara Stuehling. Dr. Stuehling is the Assistant Director for the Global Gateway for Teachers at Indiana University. Through the Global Gateway for Teachers, teacher education majors in the School of Education have the opportunity to student teach immersed in a new culture in a variety of locations, including Chicago, the Navajo Nation, and in 18 countries around the world. She completed her Ph.D. in Literacy, Culture, and Language Education at Indiana University, with research focusing on young children’s linguistic and cultural learning in a partial immersion Spanish preschool.

She joins me to talk about her experience being home educated at a young age compared to her husband's experience in public school. She also talks about why she did not become a school teacher and how schools of education can better prepare pre-service teachers as well as how they can shift focus to education beyond the school.
