If you are a secondary-level, full-time teacher with a minimum of three years of classroom experience and solid English-language skills, you should consider applying for two programs the State Department will conduct.
This year, the Fulbright Teaching Excellence and Achievement (TEA) fellowship is offering two different opportunities to improve your teaching skills in the United States: TEA Pedagogy and TEA Media Literacy.
Both programs bring international teachers to the United States for a six-week program that offers academic seminars for professional development at a host university. TEA Pedagogy will enhance teachers’ expertise in their craft, and equip them with a deeper understanding of best practices in teaching methods, lesson planning, and instructional technology. The program’s Media Literacy Cohort will include content-specific coursework with a focus on media literacy and critical thinking classroom skills.
Eligibility and Selection Criteria:
1. Current secondary-level, full-time teachers of English, English as a Foreign Language (EFL), math, science, or social studies including special education teachers in those subjects at institutions serving primarily a local population
2. Bachelor’s degree or equivalent
3. Minimum of three years of experience of full-time teaching by the start of program, with a preference for those who have completed at least five years of full-time experience
4. Demonstrated oral and written English language proficiency
5. Citizen and resident of Azerbaijan
6. Other requirements as indicated in the application
