The Visiting International Teachers program allows certified teachers from Spain to teach in Kansas schools for a period of one to five years. Teachers are hired to teach a variety of subjects at all levels, although the majority teach 7th to 12th grade math, science and Spanish. Visiting teachers provide Kansas students an exciting opportunity to learn about the world and other cultures. This exchange visitor program operates under the auspices of the Fulbright Hays Act. Districts match visiting teachers with a volunteer community mentor who helps them adjust to living in the United States for their short tenure. Through this program, many Kansans have made friends with people beyond our borders, which is the purpose of the Fulbright Hays Act.
