2018 Visiting Teachers from Spain Program taking applications
by Alfonso De Torres Núñez
March 1, 2018

Apply now to host a visiting teacher from Spain for the 2018-19 school year.

To provide quality instruction in Spanish from native speakers of the language and to promote rich cross-cultural exchange, Kentucky has a formal memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Education of Spain that facilitates the placement of visiting educators from Spain in Kentucky schools.

Since 2000, the KDE has worked with the Ministry of Education of Spain to help local school districts fill vacant P-12 Spanish teacher positions, as well as positions for other content areas in the case of schools with dual language immersion programs.

...KDE facilitates initial interviews in Madrid, Spain, in late March or April from a pool of highly-qualified candidates that have been previously screened by the Spanish Ministry of Education. The department sponsors the required J-1 Visa under authority of the U.S. Department of State's Exchange Visitor Program.
