Dr. Ann Schulte spent nearly a year’s sabbatical in Australia to study rural education in that country. In doing so, she learned about teacher preparation for rural Australia. She also pursued exchange opportunities with Deakin University in Warrnambool, as a visiting scholar there, and learned about Australian Culture. In this presentation, Dr. Schulte shares her experiences at very remote rural schools, as well as her cultural observations and information about the indigenous Aboriginal people. She also shares, through her photos, some Australian habitats and wildlife.
