Consulting and Referral from MaRK Teacher Connect, Inc. affords foreign nationals opportunities to teach in primary and secondary accredited educational institutions in the United States for up to three years. The Teacher Connect Program, like all exchange programs, is intended to provide participants with broad exposure to U.S. culture and society, and to foster greater appreciation among Americans of the participants’ home countries.
Specifically, teacher exchange programs prepare educators to shape young people into positive agents of change. Participating teachers bring interactive teaching practices to their students and colleagues, building the critical thinking skills, inquiry, and analytical approach that foster good citizenship. A typical teacher exchange participant can be expected to influence at least 1,000 students and 50 colleagues during his or her career, creating a powerful multiplier effect.
