Local principal to lecture in China

Tech Valley High School Principal and Chief Academic Officer Dan Liebert will take part in a lecture on American education at a prestigious university in China in December.

Liebert will speak at East China Normal University during the institution's Forum on Nurturing Creative Talent in Regular High School. The forum takes place on December 10 and 11.

Liebert will be a guest of Huo Yiping, professor and director of the Institute on High School at the university.

"I am very excited to be invited and to be part of a forum on education in another country and culture," said Liebert.

The Chinese education system has been looking for ways to nurture creativity in the culture of the Asian country. One of the reasons behind the partnership between TVHS and Tianjin High School No. 41 was to assist the school on fostering creative students.

While in China, Liebert will also visit public schools in the area and explore the country's' educational system.
