U.S - Russia Language, Technology, Math, and Science (LTMS)
This four-week exchange provides opportunities for Russian and U.S. secondary teachers and teacher-trainers of English, History, Social Studies, Math, Sciences and Information Technologies to learn from one another, compare best practices, and foster excellence in the classroom through sharing of ideas and expertise. Russian participants attend U.S.-based professional development seminars, experience practical classroom-learning opportunities, as well as prepare to conduct post-program professional development workshops for colleagues in Russia. U.S. participants then make a two-week reciprocal visit to Russia, where they collaborate on joint projects to build on the linkages established during the U.S.-based program. This program is administered by the American Councils for International Education.
