Program Summary/Abstract Description
The shortage of highly qualified teachers seriously threatens the sustainability of DLI programs. Many state and district administrators have resorted to international collaborative initiatives to meet this challenge. This workshop explores effective systems of support that facilitate the successful integration of international guest teachers into our local and academic DLI communities.
Participant will be introduced to state, district, and school level tools that outline effective structures of supports for international teachers.
