The following announcement is an opportunity for US high schools. Bring the World into Your Classroom! Join the Tajikistan-US School Connectivity Program Relief International- Schools Online is running an exciting connectivity project with high schools in Tajikistan. During the upcoming school year these schools will be paired with high schools in the United States for school-to-school partnerships. Throughout the year partners will collaborate via information and communication technology to evaluate, research, discuss and report on designated issues related to global civic education. Methods of collaboration include live web-based chats, e-mail exchange, online newsletters, and message boards. Early in the fall, Tajik teachers will visit US counterpart schools as part of a teacher exchange. Directly following the visit, six US teachers will be chosen for a three week exchange to Tajikistan. The goal of the program is to facilitate virtual school-to-school projects as a means of building international relationships and deepening the cross-cultural exchange for students and of sharing education methodologies for teachers. We are looking for passionate, involved educators who want to explore the world with their students!
