Teach in Spain
The program is an academic “continuing education” grant provided by the Ministry of Education of Spain. The program sends 1500 American and Canadian participants to Spain each year to serve as teaching assistants, sharing their native knowledge of the English or French language and North American culture in Spanish public K-12 schools. Occasionally public language schools also request an assistant for their classrooms. The program, though fairly young, has been gaining popularity quickly with more and more demand each year for such a unique experience! The International Education Center will be holding a workshop on Thursday, February 18th from 12-1pm. For information go to http://educacion.es/exterior/usa/en/programs/us_assistants/default.shtml.
