Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What can I get from joining the TTG Global EdTour Program?

Global learning matters. Recognizing the need for a global dimension in an educator’s perspective and the ability, therefore, of an educator to take a global perspective on contemporary events and issues are critical in preparing educators with 21st century instructional skills. TTG believes that the best way to gain new perspectives and build skills for the future is through experiential learning. 

TTG offers Global EdTour programs where educators can observe and reflect on overseas-based classroom instructions and exchange ideas that will ultimately help transform own classrooms or school environment. Further, TTG includes a cultural/recreational travel experience in its program designed to add value to the learning experience outside the classroom.

What is a Return Action Plan (RAP) proposal and why do I have to submit that?

The Return Action Plan (RAP) proposal is a set of action steps or activities planned by the educator-edtour applicant to be materialized within one year after joining the TTG Global EdTour program. The activities lined up in this proposal should make use of the learnings that participant gained from the program for the improvement of the current teaching/learning situation in his/her school environment.

TTG Global EdTour applicants are required to submit their RAP proposal along with their application documents to demonstrate their commitment in achieving their educational and professional objectives in joining the program.
