To kick off International Education Week<\/a>, Greenheart International<\/a> is excited to announce a new grant of up to $1000 for Greenheart teachers who work with a local colleague on a project that benefits their students, school, and broader community. Greenheart\u2019s new Teach-Pair-Share<\/strong> grant is inspired by the think-pair-share<\/a> classroom exercise. A pair of students is central to the exercise \u2014 literally! \u2014 which uses collaborative discussion to improve what each individual brings to the table. In a similar spirit, the Teach-Pair-Share grant celebrates the unique opportunities for professional development and collaboration that teacher exchange programs make possible. <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re an American teaching abroad on a Greenheart Travel<\/a> program or a Greenheart Teach USA<\/a> exchange teacher, we hope you\u2019ll apply! All you need to do is work with a local colleague on a project that will benefit both of your students. For example, you might collaborate in organizing a language-immersion day<\/a> or creating an educational garden. The application can be found here\u00a0<\/a>and the deadline is January 1, 2019.<\/p>\n

While we\u2019re thrilled to honor the amazing professional collaborations that arise from teacher exchanges, we know that international education isn\u2019t limited to teachers or even to a classroom.<\/strong> Sharing ideas, gaining new skills, and growing through exposure to new cultures is central to all of Greenheart\u2019s programs. For example, Greenheart Alumni Council member, Jemima David, shares that participating in the Intern Exchange program<\/a> gave her an \u201cunderstanding about cultural, social, and educational diversity\u201d that \u201callows her to show respect for other cultures and people.\u201d
\nThose who go abroad aren\u2019t the only ones who benefit from cultural learning. American Host Parent Paul Bradl describes hosting a High School exchange student<\/a> as \u201cone of the best decisions\u201d his family made. He adds: \u201cWe have a lot of fun sharing our culture and history\u2026while we learn their culture and history from them. We have a ton of fun exploring our community, learning new things and seeing things from a different perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n

To celebrate the many forms of teaching, pairing, and sharing that exchanges make possible, Greenheart will post different takes on what international education means using the hashtag #IEis<\/strong> throughout the week. Join us by using #IEis to explain how you\u2019ve grown personally, professionally, or otherwise, thanks to an international exchange program (and be sure to tag<\/a> us<\/a>!). We\u2019ll kick it off by saying #IEis immersive, experiential, mutual learning through international exchange<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
