As part of the AFS-USA School Strategy, we want to provide volunteers and staff ways to “give back” and proactively strengthen relationships with schools throughout the year. To that end, we are announcing the AFS Global Educator Award. Are there educators in your area (i.e., counselors, teachers, administrators, or instructional coaches) that are working to bring global ideas to the students in their classroom and/or building?
If so, consider nominating them for the award and/or share this link with your teams to nominate others from your local area. Please read through the attached documents and visit the AFS Global Awards webpage for full details and to learn more about how to nominate an educator for this award.
