Internationalizing Teacher Preparation

[mke...@westga.edu]

The Longview Foundation will support efforts to expand teachers' global knowledge and skills.  Preference will be given to those teacher preparation institutions that are connected to state or citywide systemic effort in order to have a great impact and to those using online courses for pre-service education or professional development.

Proposed projects are reviewed with particular attention to:

• Partnerships and collaborative activities between institutions to further ensure impact and sustainability

• The integration of global dimensions into pre-service teacher education, both in pre-service teachers' acquisition of pedagogy and subject matter, and in their development of intercultural skills

• The number of teacher preparation candidates reached

• Plans to assess the impact of strategies on future teachers' ability to integrate global knowledge and skills into their teaching practice

• The level of leadership and financial support for continuation of activities beyond the grant period to assure sustainability

• Participation of both the College of Education and the College Arts and Sciences

• Clear commitments to work with the relevant state education agency and/or local school districts to further the impact and sustainability of the initiative

• Dissemination plans to encourage replication at other institutions. 

• Availability of findings to the broader global education field

Grant Range: $15,000 (for single institution grants) - $30,000 (for multi-institution grants)
