Overview
<p>The Bureau’s Teacher Exchange Programs prepare teachers for leadership in the 21st century so they may help their students develop a global perspective and build the knowledge, skills, and insights needed for future study and careers. Primary and secondary (K-12) teachers participate in professional development exchanges to enhance their teaching abilities, improve education systems, and advance the educational outcomes and broaden the worldview of their students.<br>Programs prioritize engaging teachers, both in the United States and abroad, who reach underserved students in both urban and rural communities, minority students, students in career and technical education programs, and students with disabilities to ensure that the next generation is provided with equal opportunities to acquire the global knowledge and skills needed to succeed.<br>The Teacher Exchange Programs offer a significant multiplier effect, as each teacher shares knowledge and skills with thousands of students over the course of his or her career. Collectively, these same teachers reach hundreds of thousands of students over their professional careers.</p>
