In cooperation with the Foundation for International Education, the School of Education is offering an Overseas Practicum for Experienced Teachers (OPET) in national primary and secondary schools of Australia, Costa Rica, England, India, Ireland, Kenya, New Zealand, Scotland, Spain, and Wales. Teachers, school administrators, allied school professionals, and other interested persons are urged to apply as soon as possible.

OPET participants team up with overseas counterpart educators for three or four weeks of direct teaching experience and a variety of other professional activities. Participants live as paying guests with a teacher family in the school community, resulting in even greater opportunities for cultural immersion.

Participants acquire new teaching ideas and materials, hone professional skills, and establish solid links with overseas teachers, pupils, and community members. Participants earn 3 graduate credits at IU. Brief, on-site reports are required.
