Dear All:

United States-India Educational Foundation (USIEF) is happy to announce 2011 Distinguished Fulbright Awards in Teaching program fellowship and invites applications from full time Indian teachers teaching any subject at any level (primary, middle or secondary) at a school in India. This program is also open to Indian administrators/academic coordinators who spend 50% of their time in classroom teaching at schools in India. The program will bring teachers from Argentina, India, Israel, Finland, Mexico, Morocco, Singapore and South Africa to the U.S. for a semester-long program.  

Selected international participants will be placed at a U.S. host university with a respected School of Education from late August to mid-December, 2011. The host university will provide a broad range of resources in the teachers' fields of teaching expertise. The participants will enroll in advanced undergraduate or graduate level classes, team-teach in local schools and/or conduct seminars or workshops for U.S. teachers; and engage in other teaching related activities.  During the program Distinguished Teachers will work toward the completion of an action-based research project of their own design. Upon returning home, teachers will be expected to share knowledge and experience gained on the program with teachers and students in their home schools and with their communities.

Application deadline for Indian candidates is November 30, 2010.

Interested applicants can obtain details including application materials from any of USIEF offices or its website www.usief.org.in .The deadline for submissions at USIEF is November 30, 2010.

Thanks,
