Jointly funded and managed by the U.S. and German governments, the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange (CBYX) program provides 350 scholarships for American high school students, high school graduates in vocational fields, and young professionals for an academic year home-stay program. 250 American high school scholarship recipients will serve as "youth ambassadors" from the United States while attending a German high school and participating in educational, cultural, and civic events, including receptions and meetings with U.S. and German government officials. (For students who are residents of Montgomery County, TN, there is a special $8,000 Edelweiss Scholarship to study in Germany or Austria. If two applicants, the $8,000 may be split. See http://www.afsusa.org/scholarships-Tennessee).
The CBYX high school program is administered regionally by four well-established international exchange organizations. Connect with your regional CBYX exchange organization by visiting our website. AFS-USA implements the CBYX program for Americans applying from the following states: CT, DE, MA, MD, ME, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, and VT, but students from Tennessee may still apply. AFS will not be doing the paper work. For more information, contact the AFS-USA CBYX staff at 646-751-2161 or cbyx@afsusa.org.

Hi everyone! I'm collecting data to assess the need to provide continuing education to school counselors and teachers on identifying OCD symptoms in school-aged children, and I would really appreciate it if you could take 5 minutes to complete the following survey. Thanks for considering!

I am currently a student with Grand Canyon University and I need assistance with an assignment. I live in Germany so it is difficult for me to contact anyone in the local community (my German is not so gut).

So far I haven't had any luck with any of my practicums. :( Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Teacher candidates will learn of development characteristics from a counselor/school psychologist of a middle/high school student. In this block, your field experience collaboration and interview must be completed when students are not present.
Contact a counselor and school psychologist or resource teacher from grades 6-12 and arrange an interview. Speak with your instructor if there is the need to interview alternate professionals, if necessary.
Use the following points of discussion to guide your interview:
Discuss the perceived characteristics of this generations' adolescence.
What characteristic is changing the most? Possible reasons why.
What characteristic seems to never change?
How is physical development influencing adolescent characteristics?
How is cognitive development influencing adolescent characteristics?
How and what socioeconomic developments are influencing adolescent characteristics?
What professional development may help staff cope with changing adolescent characteristics?
What technologies are being used to facilitate student learning?

My name is Robert, and I am in need to connect with a counselor who works in secondary education to partner with me in completing part of my field experience/practicum requirements for my school.
I am currently enrolled at Grand Canyon University in the pursuit of licensure for Secondary Education in Mathematics, and I need to interview a counselor about services provided to secondary students.
This has been a trying experience, to be honest. I have spent an hour plus a day for three weeks trying to connect with a counselor, but where I reside, schools are out on summer break and my time for completion is running short. I found this forum and wanted to try and reach out here in the hopes someone will be kind enough to partner with me.
So please respond if you are willing, we can conduct the interview email or teleconference, whatever works best.
