The photos are two entirely different events scheduled simultaneously on the same campus with two unlike groups of people, teachers and students. My dear husband Ken shared in the Teacher-Research Workshop, to almost 40 Kazakhstani teachers, his experience as an economics teacher getting students to write short papers without plagiarism. Simultaneously I went over to the big hall to hear all the rules 250 Kazakhstani students need to know before they go to the U.S. on a Work and Travel program in about a week. Both sessions were dealing with rules not meant to be broken!

practical, up-to-date, challenging
not new, actual, exciting to put into practice
