The international participants will travel to the United States in two cohorts of 88-90 teachers each in spring or fall 2012. TEA consists of a non-degree, non-credit customized academic program, including coursework and intensive training in teaching methodologies, lesson planning, and teaching strategies for home classroom environments, as well as the use of computers for Internet, word processing, and as teaching tools.

Cultural activities and academic support will be provided for participants throughout the program.
