Secondary-level teachers of English as a Foreign Language
ISSS and CEHD will be combining forces to provide a
semester-long professional development program for 16
secondary-level teachers of English as a Foreign Language,
social studies, civics, mathematics and science for the
International Leaders in Education Program (ILEP). ILEP will
bring outstanding international secondary school teachers to
the United States for one semester. The goals of the program
are to:
- enhance teachers’ expertise in their teaching
discipline and equip them with a deeper understanding of
best practices in teaching methodologies, lesson planning,
and the use of technology in teaching;
- create among
educators a more nuanced understanding of the U.S.;
-
develop productive and lasting relationships and mutual
understanding between U.S. and international teachers and
their students; and
- contribute to improving teaching in
participating countries by preparing participants to serve
as teacher leaders, who upon returning home will apply and
share their experience and skills with their peers and
students. This program is sponsored by the U.S. Department
of State and IREX (the International Research & Exchanges
Board).
