International Visa guidelines
Compensation for exchange teachers must be comparable to that of similarly qualified U.S. teachers within the same school district or host school, ensuring equity and fairness in pay. Moreover, GTP is designed to promote cultural exchange rather than address labor shortages. This ensures the program maintains its integrity and aligns participants with roles that support their professional growth and career objectives. Host schools are also encouraged to place teachers in positions that maximize cultural exposure and provide opportunities to engage in cross-cultural activities. These guidelines foster a meaningful environment for skill development, cultural exchange, and mutual learning within the international program.
