Scholarship Description: The International Leaders in Education Program (ILEP) is a program of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State (ECA/A/S/X) and is implemented by IREX (the international Research & Exchange Board), a Washington, DC based non-profit organization. ECA/A/S/X will provide the funding and overall policy guidance for this program.
ECA/A/S/X is planning to bring approximately 64 international teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), social studies, math or science to the United States for a semester-long (5 month) professional development program beginning in January of 2012. The teachers will be recruited from Near East, South Asia and Southeast Asia and will be placed in cohorts of about 16 teachers at four U.S. universities that will be selected through a competitive process.
The program will consist of academic seminars focusing on new teaching methodologies, curriculum development, lesson planning, and teaching strategies. All candidates will receive laptop computers and computer training. Participants will audit two courses in the host university’s School or Department of Education, and thus will be part of the general university community. If necessary, candidates will also receive ongoing English language assistance during their academic program. The program will also include a minimum 90 hour internship in a U.S. secondary school to actively engage participants in the U.S. classroom environment. Cultural enrichment, mentoring, and support will be provided to participants throughout the program. MACEE will nominate 10 teachers for this program.
