AFS-USA Material for Educators

by Dr. Wills

Sep 19, 2015

AFS-USA Partnership Scholastic, Inc. Scholastic materials This coming week, AFS-USA in partnership with Scholastic Inc, - the nation’s largest publisher of supplemental educational materials will launch a special, AFS-focused edition of Scholastic’s award-winning “ Upfront” magazine to approximately 51,000 9th 12th grade classrooms across the U.S.

This 8-page publication is designed to help 1.4 million students learn about Global Citizenship and inspire them to be a part of the AFS Effect. Articles range from a first person account of studying abroad, to the history of the American Field Service, to AFS Returnees traveling to space, and to the global impact of hosting an AFS student in their homes.

Accompanying the Upfront magazine is a complete, 4-page teaching guide which provides detailed lesson plans for educators, specifically designed by the education-experts at Scholastic to satisfy both state 'common core' requirements and AFS learning objectives. ...See More AFS-USA Partnership Scholastic, Inc.

Accompanying the Upfront magazine is a complete, 4-page teaching guide which provides detailed lesson plans for educators, specifically designed by the education-experts at Scholastic to satisfy both state 'common core' requirements and AFS learning objectives.

To support middle school educators, as well as to promote our Global Prep programming for younger students, a special digital edition of Upfront will also be sent to 75,000 8th grade teachers. This has the potential to reach an additional 2 million students and parents.

All of the classroom materials, along with AFS videos and a link to our newly-launched AFS-USA educator’s portal will be hosted and featured on Scholastic.com. Each month, Scholastic.com receives over 8 million unique visitors. View it here.

You can also download a digital version of the AFS Upfront magazine and the Teacher’s Guide here, or request print copies from your Team Development Specialist within the next few weeks. We encourage you to read the magazine and reference the teacher's guide at the same time, to get the full effect of the experience we are providing to students and educators.

I hope you will use these materials to access schools and influential educators or other AFS-advocates year-round, especially as you plan local activities to support International Education Week November 16-20, 2015.
