Hosting an Exchange Student is a Feast of Learning Opportunties

Hosting an Exchange Student Feeds the Teacher (and Mama) in Me

Hosting an Exchange Student Builds Empathy

How Hosting an Exchange Student Continues to Feed the "Creative" in Me

Hosting an Exchange Student: The Dark Side

Resources for Arranging International Student Exchanges

I would love to hear about your experiences!

Dawn Babb Prochovnic
Welcome! I'm the author of Lucy's Blooms (Now Available!), Where Does a Pirate Go Potty?, Where Does a Cowgirl Go Potty? (West Margin Press, 2019) and 16 picture books in the Story Time With Signs & Rhymes series (Abdo Publishing Group). I'm also a contributor to Oregon Reads Aloud (Graphic Arts Books, 2016) and the Founder of SmallTalk Learning. I blog about books, sign language, early literacy, teaching, learning, and the meandering travels of my life.
