Die Zentralstelle fuer das Auslandschulwesen und das DoE in Indiana beginnt eine Zusammenarbeit mit der Checkpoint Charlie Stifftung. Sie wollen deutsche Lehrkraefte nach Indiana bringen und es wäre toll, wenn wir wenigstens eine Lehrkraft in Indiana unterbringen könnten.
Hier ist der Link zur Homepage der Checkpoint Charlie Stiftung, unter dem interessierte Schulleiter auch nachlesen können: http://www.cc-stiftung.de/
Bitte leitet es auch an eure Schulleiter weiter. Die deutschen Lehrer haben alle mehrere Unterrichtsbereiche, siehe Anlage!
