During a six-week stretch in the fall semester, the UW–Madison School of Education hosted 22 teachers from 12 different countries across Eastern Europe and Central Asia as part of the Fulbright Teaching Excellence and Achievement (Fulbright TEA) program, which is funded by the U.S. Department of State and administered by IREX.
The visiting educators were part of a Fulbright TEA Media Literacy Cohort that focused on helping teachers promote and develop media literacy and critical-thinking skills that they can use in their home classrooms, schools, and communities.
