The Teachers Exchange Program seeks experienced American K-12 teachers of any level and any subject who will return to the U.S. committed to improving teaching about China in American schools. While in China, they teach English in Chinese secondary schools. The teachers leave the U.S. in late August for the school year that begins on September 1, and are generally finished with their teaching duties in late June. The Chinese school year runs through early July, but the students are reviewing for and then taking exams in which the American teachers have no role.
The exchange program also brings Chinese secondary school teachers of English to the U.S. They spend the school year teaching Chinese language, Chinese culture (history, literature, arts), and/or, where appropriate, English as a Second Language. It is not required that every school or district both send and receive. We are flexible, hoping to satisfy the needs and interests of individual teachers, their schools, and their districts.
