This educational tour is specially designed for US educators and school administrators who are interested in establishing new Chinese programs to promote the teaching and learning of Chinese language and culture in K-12 schools. The delegation will spend the first few days in the Chinese capital, Beijing, and then travel to regional cities in smaller groups. Delegates will visit local schools, meet with Chinese educators, see historic landmarks, and participate in cultural activities. CLASS is working closely with Hanban in the selection and recruitment of the best candidates for the US delegation. We strongly encourage eligible applicants to submit application to CLASS directly before the deadline of April 15, 2007. Two travel schedules are arranged for the US educators trip: from June 23 through July 1 or from June 24 through July 2. The total estimated value of the trip is $3,000 USD. The cost of the trip for each participant is a $750 USD nonrefundable registration fee plus independent travel to US hub cities. Hanban has provided generous funding to cover participants’ international round-trip air tickets to Beijing from designated U.S. hub cities; travel costs in China including hotel accommodations, group meals, tour guides and admission tickets; and local and inter-city transportation costs. Who is eligible? 1. Educators who did NOT participate in the Chinese Bridge Delegation to China in 2006. 2. K-12 Educators* include current school principals, district superintendents, assistant or deputy superintendents, or other state/district/school representatives overseeing foreign language education. 3. Multiple applications from the same school district and/or institution will be accepted; however, priority will be given to the most senior applicants in the group application. * Please note that priority will be given to secondary school leaders and administrators; however, elementary school applicants are encouraged and welcome to apply.
