My name is Robyn and I work with the Teachers of Critical Languages Program (TCLP), a grant sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State. TCLP helps K-12 schools grow critical world language programs by sponsoring fully-funded teachers from Egypt, Morocco, or China to teach Arabic or Chinese as a foreign language in U.S. host schools for an academic year.
I am writing to request your help to share information about TCLP with administrators, schools, and districts that might be interested in either starting a new Arabic or Chinese program or expanding an existing program. Would it be possible to distribute the information below within your network of schools and educators?
We are pleased to announce the opening of the
Teachers of Critical Languages Program (TCLP)
grant application! TCLP is a federally funded program that helps U.S. K-12 schools to launch new or expand existing Arabic or Chinese language classes.
TCLP makes it easy for U.S. schools to grow their critical language programs by placing fully-funded teachers from Egypt, Morocco, or China to teach Arabic or Chinese as a foreign language for an academic year. By sharing their languages and cultures, the teachers
bring global competencies to their host schools and communities. Host a teacher in 2020 by starting an
application
today!
Since 2006, TCLP has sponsored 318 highly trained teachers that have worked in 201 schools across 39 states and impacted over 87,300 students! TCLP teachers have also collectively conducted over 15,000 hours of cultural outreach to bring international experiences
to their host schools and communities.
We invite you to learn more about hosting a teacher at your school and to speak
with host school alumni about their experiences with TCLP by attending a live informational webinar at
4:00pm (EST) on November 14, 2019 or December 5, 2019.
To attend a webinar, watch a recording of a past webinar, or to apply to TCLP, please visit http://tclprogram.org/host-school-application. The application deadline for TCLP host schools is Monday, January 27, 2020 at 11:59pm EST.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the grant provisions or requirements. Thank you in advance for your help, and I look forward to hearing from you!
Best Regards,
Robyn
