Teachers for Global ClassroomsTeachers for Global Classrooms is a year-long professional development program for elementary, middle and secondary teachers in the United States. The program aims to globalize teaching and learning in U.S. classrooms. The program has previously only been open to middle and secondary teachers, but the 2015-2016 cohort will be the first to have teachers from K-12. The program begins with an 8-week graduate level online course on globalizing the classroom, followed by a Global Education Symposium in Washington, D.C. The fellows then have a 2-3 week international travel fellowship in one of 6 countries determined by the State Department.
The 2014-2015 TGC cohort is made up of 78 teachers from 35 states and the District of Columbia. This year, teachers traveled to Morocco, The Republic of Georgia, India, Brazil and the Philippines. To apply for Teachers for Global Classrooms, visit IREX. |
