Exchange program for Teachers

 

Exchange Program Opportunity for Secondary School Educators (Teachers).

The U.S. Embassy is pleased to announce the competition to select highly qualified candidates for summer 2019 Study of the United States Institutes (SUSI) for Secondary School Educators.  These institutes are for secondary school teachers. Please note that the Institutes for teachers focus on content and materials about the US rather than teaching methods and pedagogy. Prospective applicants are encouraged to visit the link exchanges.state.gov/susi to obtain general information about the Institutes.

The program is designed to provide foreign secondary educators the opportunity to deepen their understanding of U.S. society, culture, values, and institutions.  The ultimate goal of these Institutes is to strengthen curricula and to enhance the quality of teaching about the U.S. in secondary schools and other academic institutions abroad.

Candidates are requested to provide in English a curriculum vitae with contact information as well as a one page (250 words) personal statement describing their interest, what they expect to gain from the program, what qualities they bring to the program, and how they plan to use the knowledge acquired.
