The Embassy of the United States in Guatemala announces the opening of the TEA program for secondary school teachers of English, English as a Foreign Language, social studies, math, and science who are able to demonstrate English language proficiency.
The TEA program is offered for a total of two six-week professional development programs (one program in the spring of 2015, the other in the fall of 2015).
Teachers will be placed in cohorts of about 20 teachers at eight U.S. universities that will be selected through a competitive process. The program will consist of academic seminars focusing on new teaching methodologies, curriculum development, lesson planning, teaching strategies, and instructional technology training. The program will also include a practicum at a U.S. secondary school where participants work closely with U.S. teachers and teach and present to U.S. students. Cultural enrichment, mentoring, and support will be provided to participants throughout the program.
After returning home, teachers who successfully complete the program will be eligible for small grant awards for essential teaching materials, follow-on training for other teachers, collaborative projects between participating American schools and their home schools, and other activities that build on the exchange experience.
