Teacher exchanges
An exchange offers a unique challenge: it is
a chance to adjust to new methods, and test some of your own.
Teachers can keep in touch with their own schools, and perhaps
establish a lively school link.
Teacher exchanges Europe
It is quite easy to find teachers in France, Spain or Germany
interested in an exchange - use the
eTwinning forums to post messages.
However there is no supported exchange programme so you will need
to decide with your head teacher if the incoming teacher would meet
the school's requirements and whether your post would remain
open.
Fulbright UK-US teacher exchange
The Fulbright Teacher
Exchange programme is run by the British Council and
the US Department of State. Through it, UK teachers are
offered the opportunity to learn about contemporary American
culture as well as assimilating and following American teaching
methodologies and approaches. The incoming American teacher
can bring a fresh and different outlook into the school, and assist
in your school's international activities.
Application
deadlines are in December each year.

Visiting International Faculty
Programme
The Visiting International Faculty Program offers teachers
from around the world the opportunity of serving as teachers and
cultural ambassadors for their country in the United States.

decide with your head teacher if your post would remain
open. 2009-10 applications may be submitted at any time for
positions beginning in August of 2009 and the requirement is a
degree.
