What it funds
Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.
USAID/India seeks a U.S. School of Education (SOE) to implement a three to five month customized teacher training program for approximately 100-110 teacher educators from India. The first group of 50 plus teacher educators would arrive in the U.S. on or around September 15, 2013 and the second group on or around September 15, 2014. The purpose of the proposed project, the India Support for Teacher Education Program (In-STEP), is to build the capacity of Indian teacher educators (and administrators) by exposing them to the talent, methodologies, and expertise offered by U.S. Schools of Education (SOEs). It is expected that these teacher educators will take the practices and methodologies learned in the U.S. and apply them to the Indian context.
