My humphrey year at Vanderbilt university

It always gives me such pleasure and joy to remember my Humphrey year at the Peabody College, Vanderbilt University where I was blessed by new experience for educational innovation. My name is Enkhtuvshin and I received Humphrey fellowship in 2008. During my Humphrey pro-gram, I was provided with great opportunities to develop professionally and acquire the skills and contacts that are crucial to my goal of improving the current situation of the secondary and higher education sector in my country.

The Humphrey program was an invaluable experience in my life that greatly helped me to improve my research and leadership skills. After completing the program, I wanted to share all that I have learned with my colleagues and the professional community. Upon returning home, I developed a grant proposal on Teacher Li-censure Standards for Mongolia based on my Humphrey experience. In August, I taught a Grant Writing Class for pre-school education officers from the western and eastern provinces of Mongolia. Currently, I am working with the Mongolian Education Alliance on conducting training on 21 Century learning for young teachers. Finally, I would like to share my cultural experience of Humphrey year. As a person from the biggest landlocked country, driving a canoe was not easy for me, however, I could do it with the help and encouragement of my Humphrey fellows. This was a very unique and fun experience of my Humphrey year and I wrote a small poem about it. I will never forget my first experience in the canoe Archived from masa.org.mn/article/my-humphrey-year-at-vanderbilt-university before the previous website was retired.
