TEMPE SISTER CITY EDUCATOR EXCHANGE PROGRAM

If you are a teacher interested in the 2007 Educator Exchange through Tempe Sister Cities, please download and submit the form at the link on the bottom of this page.

The objective of this program is to provide an opportunity for TUHSD and TD#3 educators to develop professional educational growth and understanding among the people of Regensburg, Germany, Zhenjiang, China, or Lower Hutt, New Zealand, through a family living and school teaching experience. Your family needs to be supportive of your participation and time commitment to this educator exchange.

This is a professional educator exchange and is NOT for independent travel/activities before or after the educator exchange. As a participant in the exchange, understand that this program does in no way include a spouse, family member(s), or friend(s) for this foreign travel. Chosen educators will be expected to adhere to the educator exchange travel date calendar.

EDUCATOR’S TIME COMMITMENT
The actual exchange trip for the TUHSD and TD#3 educators to Germany, China, and New Zealand will be three weeks in the summer of 2008 (tentatively June); however, the travel dates are still to be determined. It is expected that the educators will attend orientation meetings before the departure date, participate in Sister City activities, give talks about the exchange experience, and generally help plan and promote the exchange program. It is imperative that the selected educators attend these get togethers BEFORE leaving for Germany, China, or New Zealand. This needs to be a PRIORITY! Failure to do so may result in altering the final group going to Germany, China, or New Zealand
