Some of the issues discussed included how to engage the business community in supporting international education in schools, the importance of teaching languages in schools, along with using international benchmarking.<br /><br />Below you find thoughts from the Wisconsin participants. We invite you to read, reflect and react! The broader the input, the more inclusive will be policy directions from the leadership in the state. Your comments will help shape policy in this regard.<br /><br /></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4621661716768358706-5971609447212210405?l=friendsofinternationaled.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Judy Freund, 2011-2012 DGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18261691668579700989noreply@blogger.com4
