Abstract | With 1 in 10 children in US schools having limited English proficiency, school districts across the country face challenges in meeting the students' educational needs and finding enough qualified bilingual and English as a Second Language educators. This report identifies international teacher exchanges as an innovative, near-term strategy for school administrators to respond to immediate teaching needs, particularly in subject areas where knowledge of a foreign language is necessary. In conjunction with efforts to recruit local teachers, foreign teachers can help alleviate endemic shortages--particularly in districts that face rapid, unexpected, or short-term changes in the student population. Appended are: (1) Credential and Experience Requirements for States Participating in the US-Spain Visiting Teacher Program; (2) US-Spain Visiting Teacher Program Exchange Teachers by State, 1997 to 2008; (3) US-Spain Visiting Teacher Program Exchange Teachers by State, 1997 to 2008; and (4) Acronyms. (Contains 11 figures and 95 footnotes.) (As Provided). |
