I am a teacher in Oklahoma. I am looking for a 5th or 6th grade teacher to collaborate with for my Ancient China unit.

Great question. The exchange that I participated in lasted 9 days. I was on their site this week, and teachers can serve as guides for student delegations and those can last as long as 23 days.... Hope this helps!

Does People to People support long term exhcanges for teachers?

I just participated in an exchange through People-to-People. It was incredibly well organized, and we were able to see multiple aspects of the country. I'd suggest that you look there!

I look forward to reading and sharing here. We are in a suburban Indianapolis school district. We are in our third year of teaching Mandarin K-Level 3. We plan to add Level 4 next year and AP the following. Our program has made great strides with the support of our school board, Indiana University's SMARTTALK program, the American Councils for International Education, and Hanban. We are continually writing and revising our curriculum.

Right now, we are looking for ways to support exchanges for our teachers and students in China. What succes have people had with this?

I just returned from a delegation to China where we studied education. I've been blogging about the experience on my page.... I've also uploaded some photos and videos. Click my name to go to my page and check it out.

I have social network called Collaborative Translation. Some language educators do teaching and translation work. You are welcome to join and to contribute to some 21st century benchmarks. http://collaborative-translation.ning.com/

Ni Hao to the group. I teach Chinese to my grade 4 kids as a general part of our vocabulary work, and as part of our global projects with Taiwan. Sometimes, we have a Chinese teacher come to class and help out with the tones, but usually I just wing it with what I know. I took 4th grade students to Taiwan in 2004 and 2007 to the International Summer school ay Kang Chaio in Taipei. Zei Jian. -- Terry

Hi Jess,

Can't say it will be my ideas that I will be sharing in this group but I may be able to direct some enthusiastic Hong Kong teachers here.
