PD List Colleagues:

 

Knowing that many of you are full time K-12 educators, I thought this
might be of interest to you.

 

And if you get accepted, you must tell us all about your experience in
Costa Rica! :-)

 

Best wishes...Jackie Taylor

Greetings from the Institute of International Education!  

 

We are pleased to announce that the application is now available for the

Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., and administered by the Institute of
International Education, the program aims to advance environmental
stewardship and global connectedness in U.S. schools and communities. 

 

The program will take place June 18 - July 3, 2010 and the deadline to

Please help us reach out to educators by sharing this information with
your members and constituents. If you post programs and professional
development opportunities on your website, listserv, or newsletter, we
would greatly appreciate you posting information on the program as well.


 

Thank you for considering this request to help us spread the word about
this unique opportunity. In the words of a program alumnus: 

 

"International opportunities such as these completely expand our
worldviews and shift our priorities. My approach to teaching has changed
- I have become more passionate about making my students global citizens
with knowledge of and sensitivity to international issues."

 

If you have any questions or would like more information, please do not
