IUP has received $290,000 to host the Fulbright Distinguished Awards In Teaching Program for International Teachers for the eighth year.
Indiana University of Pennsylvania is only one of three universities in the United States chosen as a host institution. The program selects primary and secondary teachers from various countries to come to the United States to take courses in professional development, observe and share their expertise with their U.S. colleagues with the hope that they will pass on their knowledge to their colleagues back home.
Seventeen different educators from 10 different countries are part of this years cohort that will come to IUP. That cohort is already on-campus at IUP and will be guest teachers at Indiana High School and in the Pittsburgh Public School System. The teachers will be here until December 11th.
