Classrooms Without Borders (CWB) is a premier provider of experiential professional development for teachers through study seminars that take place outside of the classroom. History, culture, politics and current events are experienced "live" through learning tours abroad with a focus on Holocaust and Israel education. The exposure to ancient and modern realities from a "first-person" perspective gives teachers a greater appreciation of their subject of study and specialty. CWB's unique travel experiences are enriched with rigourous content, scholarly readings, renowned speakers, exhibits, arts and direct applications to classroom instruction. Educators return to the classroom highly motivated and energized, their intellectual and creative batteries recharged and strengthened. Diverse local programming supports the travel study seminars by continuing to engage educators, while extending the CWB experience to students and the community.
