the Institute of International Education (IIE) is officially launching a
new campaign to recruit 1,000 K-12 teachers to join Generation Study
Abroad, a five-year initiative to double the number of U.S. college
students studying abroad.</p>
<p>According to the Institute, “Teachers are powerful motivators when it
comes to encouraging students to pursue any and all types of global
study, from classroom projects in elementary school to study abroad
programs in college. They are uniquely positioned to inspire curiosity
about the world by teaching all subjects through a global lens, as well
as incorporating international content into their lesson plans, language
learning, and exchange programs.”</p>
<p>By joining IIE Generation Study Abroad, teachers will join a national
movement to globalize the K-12 classroom and will gain access to<a href="http://languagemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/185931004.jpg"><img class="" src="http://languagemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/185931004-150x150.jpg" alt="185931004" height="150" width="150"></a>
news and networking opportunities as well as resources to enhance
instruction. To achieve their goal of doubling study abroad by the end
of the decade, the IIE believes it is essential to work with teachers at
the K-12 level and support them in building a pipeline of students
ready to undertake international experiences in college. The earlier
students are exposed to foreign cultures, languages, and international
current events, the better.</p>
