Participants observe classrooms and share their expertise with teachers and students at the host university and local secondary schools.
The Fulbright TEA Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, with funding provided by the U.S. Government and administered by IREX.
