American Councils works with the U.S. State Department-sponsored Teachers of Critical Language Program (TCLP) to place highly qualified K-12 teachers from People’s Republic of China (PRC), Egypt, Morocco, and Taiwan in your district for an academic year to teach Arabic or Mandarin as a Foreign Language.
TCLP provides exchange teachers with:

Living stipend

Ongoing program support
While host schools provide mentorship and community support.

Spend over 260 hours of lesson planning and curriculum development for their host school
Interact with over 300 U.S. students, parents, and community members
Apply by January 23, 2023 and equip your students with critical language and cultural skills that are necessary for tomorrow’s job market.
