Welcome to Fast Train

http://gse.gmu.edu/programs/fasttrain/index.shtml

FAST TRAIN (The Foreign Affairs Spouses Teacher Training Program) began Fall, 1990. The program started in collaboration with the Office of Overseas Schools, The State of Virginia and George Mason University to prepare foreign affairs spouses in teacher training to obtain positions in international schools. Since then over 400 participants have completed the program and are now teaching worldwide. While FAST TRAIN still maintains a formal relationship with the U.S. Department of Overseas Schools, the program has now expanded and is open to all applicants who would like to teach abroad.

FAST TRAIN is one of the academic programs within the Center for International Education at George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia.

Visiting International Faculty Program

http://www.vifprogram.com/

The Visiting International Faculty Program, the United States’ largest cultural exchange program for teachers and schools, is dedicated to transforming lives through international exchange. VIF offers "highly qualified" teachers from around the world the opportunity of serving as teachers and cultural ambassadors in the United States.

VIF provides U.S. schools with world-class teachers who groom a new generation of students for success in a globally integrated world. VIF teachers work in the U.S. for up to 3 years and then return home to share their international experiences with students and colleagues in their home countries.

VIF is dedicated to ensuring that students, educators and communities worldwide reap the benefits of international education. VIF believes:

All schools should have at least one international exchange teacher;

All students should be exposed to variety of exchange teachers during their academic careers;

All communities should have an equal opportunity to develop globally literate citizens to help build a foundation for success in the global marketplace.
