12/09-17/11/2017 - Θερινά επιμορφωτικά προγράμματα για καθηγητές δευτεροβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης (Η.Π.Α.)

The Fulbright Foundation in Greece will award up to three grants (depending on available funding) to Greek secondary school educators, curriculum developers, teacher trainers or textbook writers to attend the 2018 Study of the United States Institutes. The Study of the United States Institute is a five-week academic program designed for secondary school educators involved in the teaching of English, as well as professionals in curriculum development, teacher training, or textbook writing. It provides multinational groups of 20 experienced secondary school teachers each with a deeper understanding of U.S. society, education, and culture, - past and present. Institute programs are held at university campuses throughout the U.S. and focus on a particular theme or topic in American studies. Each program includes two components: an intensive, four-week academic seminar, and a study tour of one week designed to reinforce the academic content of the program.

The Institute’s ultimate goal is to improve the quality of teaching and strengthen the development of curricula about the United States in educational institutions and school systems outside the United States. It supports activities that recognize and promote the critical relationship between educational exchange and international understanding, in addition to the intellectual merit of the projects. Applications with broad multiplier effects are welcome, conducive to candidates’ sharing of their experiences and knowledge with colleagues and students in the host country (US) and upon return, in Greece.

Candidates are selected on the basis of academic excellence, potential for professional development, civic engagement, extra-curricular activities, and personal qualities/abilities to serve as a cultural ambassador for Greece. All awards are subject to the Fulbright Foundation policies in compliance with the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board (FFSB) guidelines and all governmental regulations regarding visas, immigration, travel and residence.
