NAFSA: Association of International EducatorsNAFSA: Association of International Educators serves international educators, their institutions and organizations by setting standards of good practice, providing training, professional development, and networking opportunities, and advocating for international education. NAFSA has nearly 10,000 members at 3,500 institutions worldwide, representing over 150 countries. In conjunction with its May 2009 conference in Los Angeles, NAFSA organized a colloquium on internationalization of teacher education to provide a forum for the discussion of key issues, opportunities, and strategies. It was designed to encourage leaders in teacher education to ensure that teachers have the capacity to educate students to live and work in an interdependent world. The event connected faculty and administrators from colleges of education with the wider international education community.

The Network also offers a discussion forum, where you can post questions and answers. A second colloquium on internationalizing teacher education will be held at NAFSA's 2010 conference in Kansas City, MO the afternoon of June 2 and the morning of June 3, 2010. The colloquium will focus on curricular transformation in colleges of education to prepare “world-minded” teachers. Registration will begin on March 1, 2010.
