Through these courses, the U.S. Embassy aims to support State governments in the professional development of a cohort of K-12 teachers who, in turn, can support the professional development of teachers in their State.

At the launch ceremony, the U.S. Mission’s Minister Counselor for Public Affairs Gloria Berbena joined President of TESOL International Gabriele Kleckova in welcoming the participants.

The U.S. government funds English teacher education, language proficiency, and professional development programs through Regional English Language Offices at U.S. Embassies and Consulates around the world.  For more information, visit https://in.usembassy.gov/education-culture/study-usa/regional-english-language-office-relo/ or write to RELOIndia@state.gov.
