I wanted to share a call for proposals for US teachers (schools) to participate in the Teachers for Global Classrooms (TGC) Program which provides a professional development opportunity for middle and high school teachers from the United States to participate in a program aimed at globalizing teaching and learning in their classrooms. This a fantastic program, a great development opportunity for the teachers, and the benefit for the students is also huge!
TGC is a program of the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and administered by IREX. Full program information available here -
