The Teaching Excellence and Achievement Program

The Teaching Excellence and Achievement Program (TEA) reciprocal US teacher exchange, which this year is being expanded to include math and science teachers.
The grant is provided by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), US Department of State and implemented by IREX. It provides for visa support, round-trip domestic airfare, lodging and meals to attend the TEA U.S. Conference, round-trip airfare from the U.S. to the assigned country, emergency medical evacuation plan, and lodging and a daily stipend in host country for a two week exchange to one of 27 countries. 80 awards will be made.
During the exchange, US teachers will work with their international hosts to conduct professional development workshops for the educational community and co-teach in their area of expertise. It is also a wonderful way to internationalize the US teacher's classroom by creating long-lasting ties to students and teachers on the other side of the globe.
