Become a global educator by completing part of your teaching placement overseas in one of over 50 countries

Why should I become a global student teacher?

"Everyday I learn so much about myself and the world around me. As of right now, I would not trade this experience in for anything else in the world."

I find it challenging on so many levels... excellent preparation for almost any future class I might teach."

"Although nerve-wracking and exhausting at times, my teaching internship was also exhilarating, challenging, and almost always, delightful."

"...student teaching overseas has prepared me as a global teacher with innovative teaching strategies."

"Most importantly, I learned a great deal about myself. This experience was priceless for what I gained from it."

These statements are quoted directly from placement feedback provided by former GST participants.

How do I become a global student teacher?

"There’s no such thing as a free lunch" (Milton Friedman)

Well, actually, many international schools do offer free lunches, but you will have to pay out first. There is a cost, but it is not as much as you may think when compared to student teaching at home and/or being a tourist overseas - and you do get a lot for your money. Find out what this expenditure covers from the PowerPoint or website and how your college may help.

"Commitment unlocks the doors of imagination, allows vision, and gives us the "right stuff" to turn our dreams into reality." (James Womack)

Participation requires commitment—it’s up to you to take responsibility for applying, paying, arranging travel and accommodation—but it’s down to us to advise and assist when we can.

"Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try" (Anon.)

If you are the right person for this program, and feel that you are making good progress on your course, gain support of your college.

"We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming." (Werner von Braun)

In fact, it’s not rocket science: just complete the GST on-line application process and we will find a placement for you.

"The person who gets the farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The surething boat never gets far from shore." (Dale Carnegie)

Throughout the application process you will receive feedback and guidance and, once accepted, a school placement will be made with reference to your own choices and preferences.
