International exchange program seeks teacher applicants

The Eurasia/South Asia Teaching Excellence and Achievement Program (TEA), a bilateral exchange program that provides professional development for secondary school teachers from the United States, Eurasia, and South Asia, is seeking applicants for a two-week international exchange program. In spring 2009, 15 U.S. teachers will visit Eurasian and South Asian countries for two weeks to work with international secondary school teachers.

Prior to the U.S. teachers’ visit, 60 international teachers will travel to the United States in fall 2008 to take part in six-week professional development programs at U.S. colleges or universities. The selected U.S. teachers will participate in the TEA U.S. Conference together with the international teachers in early November, 2008, and travel for a two-week visit to one of the TEA eligible countries to be hosted by one or two TEA international teachers and their schools.
