World View Introduces North Carolina Educators to Ecuador

When Antonio Wilkins was recognized as the 2014-15 Principal of the Year by the Public Schools of Robeson County, he was awarded a chance to trade, for a few weeks, the sand hills and swamps of Robeson for the islands and highlands of Ecuador. The trip was not a vacation, though — Wilkins was joined by educators from across the state for an immersive study visit organized by World View.
