Morgan's Program
Welcome! I recently graduated from Miami University's teacher education program, and I am moving to Madrid for 10 months to complete CIEE's teach abroad program. I am going to be a Language and Culture Assistant in a HS classroom. I am so excited to explore Madrid and share my experiences with you! Hopefully my posts can shed some light onto the CIEE teach abroad program and you can find some helpful advice.
