Exchange program in the U.S. for Brazilian Awarded Public School Principals

Overview

<p>We are seeking for proposals for the development and implementation of a ten-day exchange program in the U.S. for 27 Brazilian awarded public school principals who will travel accompanied by an education leader assigned by the National Council of State Secretaries of Education (CONSED). Participants in this exchange are the Brazilian public school principal winners (onefrom each of the 26 Brazilian states, and the Federal District) of the National Public School Management Award (Premio Gesteio Escolar - PGE). This exchange program in the U.S. should provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the different high school models present in the U.S. educational system, synergies and potential areas for collaboration and follow on initiatives.</p> <p>During their exchange experience in the U.S., we would like awarded school principals to:<br>• take a deep dive into the U.S. educational system;<br>• exchange experiences and best practices with education experts and counterparts;<br>• visit different high school models: regular, magnet, vocational-technical, charter, university<br>preparatory schools, etc.<br>• visit key education institutions and associations in the U.S.<br>• Develop a program journal that will serve as a basis for the development of an action plan<br>for implementation back in Brazil.</p>
