Fulbright Programs for International Primary and Secondary Teachers

At-a-Glance

Fulbright Teacher Exchanges provide opportunities for elementary and secondary educators to develop their practice and bring global knowledge, skills, and perspectives to their classrooms and schools. Through exchange and professional learning programs, teachers improve educational outcomes and prepare today’s youth for success in a globalized, interconnected world. Each year, approximately 400 educators, from the United States and over 75 other countries, participate in these exchanges, and reach more than 75,000 students annually when they return to their classrooms. Over the course of their careers, they will influence more than one million students.

International educators come to the United States for six weeks or a semester at U.S. graduate schools of education. Programs include teaching and collaboration with U.S. schools and colleagues, leadership development, and seminars in all subject areas as well as media literacy, critical thinking, instructional technology, gender in education, and civic education.
