The Academy for Educational Development, the U.S. State Department, and iEARN-USA are offering two exciting opportunities for educators interested in spending a semester or a year abroad: the 2010-2011 Fulbright Teacher Classroom Exchange and the Distinguished Awards in Teaching programs. The Fulbright Teacher Exchange program provides opportunities for K-12 teachers to participate in direct one-to-one classroom exchanges with peers from other countries for a semester or an academic year. This year's participating countries include: Czech Republic, France, Ghana, Hungary, India, Mexico, Slovak Republic, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. Exchange teachers provide students with new perspectives while gaining an understanding for different cultures and educational models. Deadline for applying to the Fulbright Teacher Classroom Exchange program is October 15, 2009.

The Distinguished Awards program offers fellowships to highly accomplished U.S. and international teachers to receive a grant to study at a university, conduct research, teach classes and workshops, and develop a capstone project pertaining to their field of educational inquiry during a semester overseas. This year's participating countries include: Argentina, Finland, India, Israel, Singapore, South Africa, and the United States. Deadline for applying to the Distinguished Awards program is January 15, 2010. *Additional countries may be added prior to the January 15th deadline.
