RFPs for Teacher Exchange

[Ben Dunbar]

Enclosed are two Requests for Proposals for the "Teachers To Teachers:
Language, Technology, Math and Science Exchange."  The requests seek the
organization of a professional development seminar for secondary school
teachers from Russia who will travel to the United States.  One request is
to organize a seminar for teachers of English as a foreign language, social
studies, and history who will arrive in the United States in April 2007.
The second request is to organize a seminar for teachers of math, science,
and informational technology who will arrive in the United States in October
2007. This program is funded by the U.S. State Department's Bureau of
Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), and it is administered by American
Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS.  We hope you will
consider submitting a proposal.

 Teachers to Teachers aims:

   - To recognize the excellence and commitment of secondary school
   teachers by providing opportunities for Russian and U.S. teachers to
   learn from one another's education systems and foster excellence in the
   classroom through increased exchange of ideas and expertise;
   - To develop the leadership skills of Russian and U.S. teachers by
   providing opportunities to share educational best practices in professional
   development through seminars and workshops in the United States and Russia;
   and
   - To raise the status of teaching in Russia and create among key
   Russian professionals a deeper understanding of the U.S., so that they
   may share their experiences of living in a diverse democratic society with
   students and teachers in their home communities.
