Name of Artifact: Global Education Presentation

Date: April 27th, 2016
Course: EDUC 101 Intro to Teaching

Rationale:
To document my understanding of InTASC Standard 2, Learning Differences, I did an in
depth study of Austrias culture, education system, government, and various other aspects of their
country in comparison to the United States. I have had the opportunity to understand the
differences in not only their education system, but also the differences in everyday life. During
the course of this project, I have had the chance to learn about a world that is similar in some
ways and not so much in others than my own. Family, culture, and even the act of giving gifts is
done much differently in Austria versus the United States.
