   "This sort of thing is not common," said Rhea Ashmore, chairwoman of curriculum and instruction at UM's School of Education.
   
   Ashmore has visited China five times during her career and proposed the agreement that established the partnership to administrators in Hangzhou, where Zhejiang University is located. Hangzhou is located in eastern China near Shanghai.
   
   "This is ground breaking," she said, "and that's one of the reasons it is so significant."
   
   But Ashmore said there are many other reasons why the partnership and exchange with Zhejiang University is significant.
   
   For example, the federal government in China made the teaching of English mandatory to all Chinese students by grade three, a move that Ashmore said makes the Chinese wise.
   
   "Wouldn't it be nice if every U.S. student had to learn a foreign language?" she asked. "That's how backward we are here. Reform is (China's) middle name. Mark my words - China will be the next world power."
   
   Ashmore said the partnership between UM's School of Education and Zhejiang University's College of Education promotes collaborative research between the two universities as well as faculty and student exchanges.
   
   ...
   Ashmore said the three had a good time at UM, especially at the UM versus Northern Arizona football game.
   
   ...
   Ashmore said Dennison and Muir were good hosts.
   ...
   "I personally think that every single university student should have an experience abroad," Ashmore said.
