Travel Experiences for High School Teachers
Develop teaching skills and build a global professional network.
Continue Growing as an Educator
As a high school educator, you open the world to your students with every lesson you teach. At CIEE, we want to open the world to you!
Our mission to make academically-aligned study abroad programs an integral part of the U.S. high school experience. This is only meaningful if it goes beyond just expanding opportunities for students. We want to provide you with the chance to travel, learn, connect with like-minded educators, and develop your skills, too. When you experience global education firsthand, you will bring back new perspectives, fresh ideas, and transformative lessons that re-energize your classroom and inspire the next generation of global citizens.
CIEE’s teacher opportunities and events are available at different times of the year and take place both in the U.S. and across the world.
