Teacher Exchange Program Description
The US Teacher Exchange program is open to all non-US professional teachers who want to be cultural ambassadors of their home country or country of legal residence and teach in an accredited primary or secondary school in the United States. Exchange teachers sharpen their professional skills and participate in cross-cultural activities in schools and communities, and they return to their home school after the exchange to share their experiences and knowledge of the United States and the U.S. educational system.
