As teachers, the information we gain about our students [through the IES] allows us to tailor activities and provide support resources to help enhance their cultural competence. However, the IES provides students with an easy to understand, comprehensive self-development workbook which includes the tools to create a personal action plan - we believe the IES is definitely in a class by itself.
