Teachers needed for Taiwan exchange program
Many openings remain for Indiana teachers interested in a teaching and cultural exchange with Taiwan.
Participating Indiana teachers are hired by elementary or middle schools in Taiwan to teach English and work with the Taiwanese educators to develop curriculum and prepare lesson plans and teaching materials. The exchange also allows Indiana schools to hire Taiwanese teachers as visiting educators to come to Indiana and teach Chinese language and culture. The program helps children in both countries have a greater knowledge of different cultures, history, language, interests and lifestyles.
Application deadline for the 2009-2010 school year is Jan. 30. The opportunity is also open to students graduating from college prior to the start of the school year who want an early teaching experience abroad.
Interested teachers and schools should visit www.doe.in.gov/internationaleducation to apply online or call 317-234-2375 for more information.
