1. Student Teaching Abroad

2. About Me
Namaste! My name is Lukas Gohl, SCSU Class of ’14 and Secondary English Teacher at Oberoi International School in Mumbai (Bombay), India.

3. My Story
Last year, I was in your same shoes— a candidate teacher who was excited (and terrified) to finally start doing what I’d been preparing for at SCSU. After all those years studying, however, I knew I was ready for a change. I wanted adventure. I wanted a challenge. I wanted to travel the world and learn things I couldn’t in a classroom or even within the United States. In the Spring of 2014, out of 176 teaching candidates at SCSU, I was one of two who student taught abroad. I think that’s a missed opportunity, and I’m here to tell you why.
