The Teachers for Global Classrooms Program (TGC) provides a year-long professional development opportunity for middle and high school teachers from the United States to become leaders in global education.
Global education is integral to building 21st century skills. Recognizing that teachers are the greatest resource in empowering students to be global citizens, TGC was developed to equip fellows with the global competencies necessary to bring an international perspective to their schools. Through targeted training, an international field experience, and collaboration with colleagues in other countries, teaching and learning is transformed in their school communities, effectively bringing their students onto the global stage.
TGC is a program of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and administered by IREX.
