  1. Teachers Without Borders on Campus An FLC Registered Student Organization

  2. What is TWBOC? Teachers Without Borders On Campus at FLC is a Registered Student Organization, formed in October 2010, which is affiliated with the international Teachers Without Borders group (www.teacherswithoutborders.org). Teachers Without Borders connects teachers to information and each other to create local change on a global scale. “A world with well-trained, well-informed teachers is a world with smarter, healthier, wealthier, more peaceful individuals and societies. Support for a single teacher can foster the well-being of hundreds, even thousands, of learners and their communities.”

  3. OUR MISSION • We build student leaders because they have the drive, the enthusiasm, and the desire to make a difference. • We provide students with the materials and knowledge needed to impact the educational gap. • We support the professional development of educators by exploring current educational issues locally, nationally, and internationally. • We also support the collaboration of student organizations on campus who share the same or similar aspirations and goals. • Our best intention is to think and act locally and impact globally.
