Teachers
AFS Maine Area Team
The Way Life Should Be
The Visiting Teacher Program is unavailable for the 2009/10 academic
year, but AFS looks forward to welcoming teachers from China,
Thailand, Hong Kong, Argentina, Bolivia, and Turkey in the near future.
Educators from around the world have long understood the many benefits
that young people receive by having opportunities to live and study abroad,
and have supported AFS as a worldwide leader in international student
exchange for nearly 60 years.
This program is for people who work in the field of education—
outstanding international teachers who come to work with K-12 schools in
the United States. Since 1972, AFS-USA has made it possible for
international educators from other countries to live, work, teach, and learn
in the United States for either a semester or a year at a time. A visiting
teacher brings a different area’s geography, history, culture, politics, and
economy to life in a way that is not just educational but colorful, current,
and exciting.
AFS Global Educators Program and the Host School
All Visiting Teachers are professional educators in their home countries;
most are English teachers. Through AFS’ Global Educators Program,
participants expand their knowledge of other cultures and educational
systems, exchange teaching methods, and learn from teachers and
administrators, all while acquiring first-hand knowledge of what it’s like to
live in another country.
The AFS Global Educators Program is one way to bring professional
educators from other cultures into your classrooms, school, and
community.
In our experience, communities throughout the United States have been
excited about hosting a visiting teacher. Administrators are key players in
publicizing the program and articulating its goals to the school and
community at large. Bringing a small part of the world into your community
is a “big thing!” The students will love it–and so will their parents!
