This program provides teachers from pre-school through high school levels the opportunity to learn about the American education system, their teaching methods and material while sharing knowledge of their own country with the Americans. At the same time, it is also an opportunity to improve English skills. Teachers are placed in host schools depending on their interests and teaching background.
In the host school, participants engage in classroom, administrative and extra-curricular activities and also share with American students and teachers aspects of their own culture. Participants live with American host families, allowing them the unique opportunity to experience daily American life by being part of an American family.
