Hands Across the Water
An International Teacher Exchange Program
In 14 years Hands Across the Water has established a reputation for bringing world cultures back to American schools. The program began in October 1990 when 37 New Jersey teachers traveled to the Soviet Union. Now endorsed by major state and national education organizations including the National Education Association, NJ Education Association, Virginia Education Association, Massachusetts Teachers Association, the American Association of School Administrators, and others, participants include teachers from across the United States.
In 2007, Hands Across the Water started focusing its efforts on expanding the Monarch Teacher Network project with Mexico and Canada. For more information on the Monarch Teacher Network (MTN) and its connections with Mexico and Canada click here.
