Why am I going to Japan you ask?
I have been selected to be part of the Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program!
Why the JFMF was started:
The Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program (JFMF) was established to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Fulbright Program — a U.S. government-initiated project created in 1946 to foster mutual understanding through exchanges of university students, faculty and researchers.
The goals of the JFMF:
The Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program continues a tradition of dialogue and exchange between the United States and Japan. JFMF Teacher Program participants will play a key role in educating America's youth and in developing future leaders who are informed about both countries. The JFMF program's focus on primary and secondary education reflects the importance of internationalizing curricula at an early stage, and of providing opportunities for international experience to those who educate our young people.
The Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program, sponsored by the Government of Japan, provides American primary and secondary school teachers and administrators with fully-funded short-term study tours of Japan. The program is designed to increase understanding between the people of Japan and the United States by inviting U.S. elementary and secondary educators to visit Japan and share their experiences with fellow Americans upon their return. JFMF participants travel to Japan with other outstanding educators, learn about Japanese culture and education, and return to implement a self-designed plan to share their knowledge and experience with their students, colleagues and community.
How participants are selected:
The Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program seeks primary and secondary educators who demonstrate potential for success and a long-term commitment to education. Each year, up to 600 outstanding educators from all 50 states and the District of Columbia are selected to participate in one of three cycles departing in June, October and November. A minimum of six individuals from each state and Washington, D.C., will receive JFMF awards each year. These educators are chosen based on, among other criteria, the degree of impact that the applicant’s participation will bring to his/her school community, demonstrated commitment and potential to be an innovative and effective long-term educator, and the overall quality of the applicant’s application and letters of reference.
