This collaboration between Serere Township Secondary School and Annalise Klein is sponsored by the Fulbright Distinguished Award in Teaching (DAST) grant. 

 

Klein is one of 13 U.S. citizens who traveled abroad as part of Cycle II of the Fulbright DAST program in 2019. Recipients of Fulbright grants are selected on the basis of academic and professional achievement, as well as demonstrated leadership potential. 

 

The Fulbright DAST program runs in two cycles per year and projects last for two to six weeks. The program gives U.S. K-12 teachers the opportunity to share their expertise with colleagues, students, and other stakeholders in another country. They bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to serve as educational consultants and support projects identified by a host institution in the country, such as a school, a non-profit organization or teacher training institution. 

 

The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government and is designed to build relations between the people of the United States and the people of other countries that are needed to solve global challenges. The Fulbright Program is funded through an annual appropriation made by the U.S. Congress to the U.S. Department of State. Participating governments and host institutions, corporations, and foundations around the world also provide direct and indirect support to the Program, which operates in over 160 countries worldwide.
