My name is Tim Kelly. I am a social studies educator at Annandale HS in Fairfax County, Virginia. I am excited to be participating in a global teacher exchange program sponsored by the World Affairs Council, Washington, D.C. I am one of five teachers from the D.C. area who will be partnered with a teacher in Johannesburg or Pretoria throughout the 2015-16 school year. We will work together virtually to add rich global perspectives to the teaching and learning in our classrooms.
