    US Teacher Exchange to Armenia
    (July 17 -28, 2004)

    Project Harmony is looking for a few (dozen!) good teachers to participate
    in our fully expense paid teaching delegation to travel to Armenia this
    July. Travel to the Caucasus and learn methods of bringing international
    interactive elements to your classroom. Apply today to join this delegation
    funded by the State Department Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs!

    The exchange is to provide select US educators administrators with an
    opportunity to experience first hand Armenian culture and society, as well
    as participate in online curriculum development and facilitation training
    sessions in Armenia. With support from Project Harmony staff in the US and
    Armenia, teachers will learn methods to better incorporate field experiences
    into their classrooms in the US.

    In addition to the online educational component, planned activities in
    Armenia include cultural events and outings in Yerevan and the surrounding
    regions. A portion of the trip is dedicated to home stays for US teaching
    teams in the regions of Armenia, where they will have a unique opportunity
    to experience life in some of the most ruggedly beautiful settings of the
    former Soviet Union.

    Participants will be selected upon, but not limited to the following
    criteria:
    . General letter of interest
    . Essay explaining the anticipated educational benefits of the trip
    . Resume (indicating a demonstrated commitment to teaching and innovative
    methodology)
    . Two letters of reference
    . Telephone interview
    . Willingness to commit to follow-up expectations including participating in
    online events with partner schools in the Caucasus and expense-paid
    follow-up teaching conference to be held in January 2005 in Burlington, VT.

    Online applications will be accepted starting the week of April 19, 2004.
    Applications will not be accepted after June 1, 2004.
