The Toyota International Teacher Programs are fully-funded, short-term international professional development opportunities for teachers. Educators of different disciplines, grades and backgrounds are selected to travel together, study program themes, and bring these experiences home to their classrooms. Comments from past participants highlight the educational benefits: “International opportunities such as these completely expand our worldviews and shift our priorities. My approach to teaching has changed - I have become more passionate about making my students global citizens with knowledge of and sensitivity to international issues.” Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. sponsors this program to honor secondary school teacher’s commitment to education.
