Program Components
Selected international participants will be placed at a U.S. host university School of Education from mid- August to mid-December, 2017. The host university will provide a broad range of resources in the teachers’ fields of expertise. International teachers who are selected to participate in the Fulbright Distinguished Awards in Teaching Program will:
- enroll in advanced undergraduate or graduate level classes,
- design and conduct an inquiry project of direct relevance to their educational practice,
- observe classes, team teach and/or conduct seminars or workshops for U.S. teachers and students in local schools;
- participate in an online professional learning community with other participants to share best practices and other elements of host and home country educational systems; and
- engage in other teaching related activities.
Upon returning home, participants will be expected to integrate international best practices in education and inquiry project findings into their classrooms, school and communities. The participants will expand global and intercultural awareness of students and colleagues by sharing their Fulbright experience in India. In addition, they are expected to develop partnerships and joint projects with schools and classrooms in the U.S.
