Generation Study Abroad is a five-year initiative from the Institute of International Education (IIE), with the goal of doubling the number of U.S. students studying abroad by the end of the decade. As part of the Generation Study Abroad K-12 initiative, IIE is looking for 1,000 K-12 educators to take the Generation Study Abroad Pledge by May 1, 2015.

By signing the pledge, you agree the following:

Be an advocate for study abroad and to prepare your students to become global citizens
Incorporate a global perspective into your teaching inside and outside the classroom
Share your own personal travel/study abroad experiences

Please take a moment to complete the pledge, and share with your fellow teachers. All teachers who pledge their support by May 1, 2015 will not only receive access to a network of partners able to share tools, resources and best practices, but IIE will also offer a free E-book license for A Student Guide to Study Abroad for one full year. Our teacher partners will be able to share this great resource with their school to aid in internationalizing their classrooms and to provide valuable information inspiring their students to go abroad in college.
