Please complete and submit this application to participate in the 2024-2025 Teachers Collaborating across Borders Program.

The TCAB program is a unique opportunity for 20 teachers from the United States and 20 teachers from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to engage in a year-long international dialogue and virtual exchange. In fall 2024, teachers will engage in synchronous and asynchronous sessions to discuss topics related to education and culture in their respective countries and strategies to share this information in their classrooms. In spring 2025, participating teachers will conduct a virtual exchange project in small groups between their students and report on their exchange experience at the end of the program.  If you are not a teacher, you must have a consistent group of students to work with to participate in this program.
