The Global Educator’s Program makes it possible for U.S. educators to have the experience of what it’s like to live and teach overseas.
Program to Egypt: AFS-USA, in cooperation with AFS Egypt, is delighted to announce the launch of an academic year-long program opportunity for U.S. Educators to Egypt! This exciting new program is open to certified teachers from anywhere in the United States. This program will allow a rare opportunity for U.S. educators to gain an in-depth understanding of Egyptian culture through direct, class-room interaction with Egyptian youth and through working alongside Egyptian colleagues. This program is intended to give educators the knowledge and skills to gain a better understanding of Egyptian culture by working in the school system, while providing an intercultural element to the teaching and learning in the host school.
Program to Thailand: Put your valuable English skills to use in Thailand–and help educate their young people at the same time. Upon arrival in Bangkok, you’ll have an orientation where you’ll receive Thai language and cultural instruction. Throughout your program, there will be many opportunities for you to meet fellow AFS Participants, such as the Mid-Stay Orientation and the End-of-Stay Session. During your program, you may be housed with a host family or at a school’s residence. You might teach English, assist Thai teachers in a rural primary or secondary school, help organize ESL camps, or set up a library or other resource center. In addition, you might be able to help with agricultural or social service programs, if time permits.
