Educators wanted for Fulbright-Hays program abroad

The Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad Program gives educators an opportunity to travel overseas and learn more about another culture. Ten seminars are being offered for 2007 with 16 positions per seminar.

All seminars take place in non-western countries, including China, India and Japan. The seminars are designed to provide a broad and introductory cultural orientation to a particular country. They take place from late June to mid-August and last from four to six weeks. New this year is a seminar for math and science educators in India.

Those awarded a Fulbright-Hays position receive round-trip airfare, room and board, and program-related travel within the host country. Participants are responsible for a cost share, usually $350.

Scores on the Dakota STEP remain high, but fewer schools made adequate yearly progress, as required under No Child Left Behind.
