The TCAB program is a unique opportunity for 20 teachers from the United States and 20 teachers from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to engage in international dialogue and virtual exchange.
In fall 2025, teachers will be placed in groups to engage in synchronous and asynchronous sessions to discuss topics related to education and culture in their respective countries, as well as strategies to include this information in the classroom.
In spring 2026, participating teachers will conduct a virtual exchange project in small groups between their students and report on their exchange experience at the end of the program.
