Abstract	Collier's lesson in universal educational experiences versus culture, illustrates the eye-opening experience of a few dozen U.S. school leaders who each year travel abroad on organized educational study missions. They are doing so in an effort to build bridges, share the perspective of the United States' educational system, learn about global education and bring back ideas that might benefit their own schools' academic and co-curricular programs. For the most part, the traveling educational leaders are participants in one of two long-running programs: the Fulbright Teacher and Administrator Exchange managed by the U.S. Department of State and the annual International Seminar for Schooling, co-sponsored by AASA and the University of Texas. This article discusses some of the places they have visited and what they have learned in an effort to bridge cultural gaps. (ERIC).
