Toyota International Teacher Program Gives Teachers The Opportunity To Travel To Costa Rica



The Toyota International Teacher Program is now accepting applications from full-time middle and high school (7th � 12th grade) teachers of all subjects and librarians for its Costa Rica study tour. Fully funded by Toyota, the program will provide educators with global, environmental and cultural learning opportunities, and will take place November 19 � December 3, 2011. Application information is available at www.iie.org/toyota.



Now in its 13th year, the program has sent more than 600 educators from across the country to Costa Rica, Galapagos and Japan, completing a two-week study tour during which they learn about the environmental challenges each country faces. Upon returning to their classrooms, teachers apply their learnings to the creation of interdisciplinary, hands-on, and solution-oriented educational approaches.



Funded by Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., and administered by the Institute of International Education (IIE), the Toyota International Teacher Program advances environmental stewardship and global connectedness in U.S. schools and communities.



The program to Costa Rica will explore environmental and cultural preservation, biodiversity, and sustainability through a variety of site visits, discussions, lectures, and hands-on activities. Program participants will have an opportunity to meet with local experts, visit schools and museums, and experience the rainforest first-hand.



The Toyota International Teacher Program values diversity and encourages educators of all backgrounds, subjects, and school types to apply for this unique professional development opportunity. Applicants must be a U.S. citizen, employed full-time as a secondary classroom teacher or teacher-librarian (grades 7-12) and have a minimum of three years teaching experience. The program is open to teachers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
