Professional Development Opportunity

Title: Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. and the Institute of International Education International Teacher Program

PROGRAM: Toyota International Teacher Program to the Galapagos Islands from November 20 ‐ December 4, 2010.

As stated on the Web site: "The Toyota International Teacher Program is first and foremost a professional development opportunity. Educators selected to travel on the program will be expected to be proactive and engaged in all pre‐departure, in‐country, and post‐program activities. The program is of general interest to secondary school teachers of all disciplines ‐ including, but not limited to, art, foreign languages, physical education, social studies, mathematics, science, music, English and vocational education. Previous knowledge of Latin America or environmental subjects is not a selection criterion. Instead, the program seeks teachers who are interested in learning about Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, its people, and the ecosystem of the region, and who will draw on their program experiences to enrich their teaching and professional activities."

DEADLINE: May 26, 2010
