Project Activities
Teacher Training: ILEP teachers participate in an
academic program at U.S. universities that includes coursework and
intensive training in teaching methodologies, curriculum development,
and the use of technology for education. The program also includes
subject-specific strategies for teachers in the disciplines of math,
science, social studies/civics, and English as a foreign or second
language. The program is a full semester in duration (five months) and
includes an internship at a U.S. secondary school to actively immerse
participants in the American classroom environment.
Small Grants to Benefit Secondary Education: International ILEP alumni have the opportunity to apply for small grants to benefit their home schools and communities. These grants are awarded on a competitive basis to alumni who design outstanding projects to improve local secondary education. Alumni may implement a variety of education projects either as individuals or in collaboration with fellow program alumni or U.S. colleagues. Through the Alumni Small Grants program, IREX encourages alumni to leverage their experience and knowledge, put their ideas into action, and create change.
