ArizonaThe Arizona Department of Education (ADE) continues to offer support to 24 schools piloting international programs, PreK-12. We continue to have partnership with the higher education entities within the state and private business groups to promote: student leadership, global community outreach programs, professional development for educators, foreign exchange programs and student trips abroad. In addition, ADE has formed a new partnership with the Arizona International Educators (AIE) and offers "hot" topic seminars on international education.All State Standards have been updated to include global learning. We have also improved the foreign language teaching certification process. ADE continues to work on teacher recruitment from abroad, language immersion in our elementary, middle and high schools, and to provide international education resources to our schools. Finally, we continue to aggressively pursue grant opportunities for international education. Contact information: Carmen Chenal Carmen.chenal@azed.gov; Linnea Heap, linnea.heap@azed.gov
