Host Schools
American Councils works with universities to design teachers’ US-based programs. Both Purdue University and The University of Montana have esteemed Colleges of Education, and each has strong K-12 school connections that allow Russian teachers to observe classes of their discipline, discuss teaching approaches with US teachers, and gain a broader understanding of the US educational system. Additionally, each university has an array of experts and specialists who can tailor seminars and professional development to meet the Russian teachers’ needs and goals. Finally, in addition to representing diverse geographies and student bodies, each university is located to a number of unique cultural opportunities, ranging from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to Native American reservations.
