Call for Papers for the IIENetworker Fall 2014 Issue: "What Will It Take to Double Study Abroad?"

Deadline Extended for Teachers: June 2, 2014

IIE is seeking article submissions from K-12 teachers that highlight best practices and explore bold new ideas for encouraging U.S. students to study abroad for its fall edition of the IIENetworker magazine, "What Will it Take to Double Study Abroad?" In order to make study abroad an essential part of what it means to be educated, student and family expectations must be addressed at a much younger age. Teachers are key influencers who can help students understand the importance of global awareness early on and inspire them to be curious about and engaged in the world.

Proposed articles should identify and examine ways to educate students about the value, relevance, and necessity of international education and study abroad opportunities and to provide them with practical tools, advice, and resources. Articles that address expanding diversity in race and ethnicity, academic disciplines, and gender are strongly encouraged.
