Exchange program in the U.S. for Brazilian Awarded Public School Principals

The U.S. Embassy in Brasília, Brazil, announces a notification of funding opportunity (NOFO) to support a ten-day exchange program in the U.S. for Brazilian awarded public school principals with up to US$210,000 in FY2020 for a project period not to exceed one year. The program aims to expose Brazilian educators to the best of the U.S. educational system, key institutions, and specialists, as well as to different high school models, key partnership models with the private sector and civil society, synergies, and potential areas for collaboration. The program will include visits to different high school models, meetings with education experts and counterparts, and participation in a workshop on school management and leadership. • The program will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the U.S. educational system and its various curriculum flexibility models. • The program will help participants develop a program journal that will serve as a basis for the development of an action plan for implementation back in Brazil. • The program will include a wrap-up session where participants will have a chance to exchange experiences and finalize their action plan. • The program may be renewed for up to three additional years, subject to availability of funds and/or appropriate travel conditions.
