Host a Guest Teacher with the Teachers of Critical Languages Program
11/23/11
The Teachers of Critical Languages Program (TCLP) places teachers from China and Egypt in K-12 host schools around the U.S. TCLP guest teachers instruct students in Mandarin or Arabic language and culture for one academic year. Hosting an exchange teacher allows schools and districts to build relationships with native Arabic and Chinese speakers, connect with schools overseas, increase capacity in their language programs, and bring international perspectives to their faculty and student body. TCLP provides teachers’ salaries, healthcare, roundtrip airfare, training, professional development funds, and ongoing program support. To increase the number of Americans teaching and learning these critical languages, selected host schools receive access to grant opportunities to support language-learning projects.
