WHY Tier II in Thailand?Candidates’ Comments • Ability to complete Tier II over the summer (vs. 1-2 years) • Job responsibilities & time constraints conflict with attendance in courses during the school year • Step ‘far’ away from the job/office; & concentrate on Tier II • Network with administrators from other districts & Thailand • Learn, visit & hands-on experience the Thai education system/schools; comparative study of education in Thailand • Expand cultural awareness & understanding • Appeals to ‘adventurous’ leaders • Cost competitive with other Tier II programs (1-2 yrs); plus tax deductible!
