美国中文普通话国际汉语J-1教师项目官方原文介绍
项目背景：The Exchange Visitor (J) non-immigrant visa category is for individuals approved to participate in work-and study-based exchange visitor programs. Participants are integral to the success of the program，美国J-1教师项目是美国国务院立法的官方文化交流项目，可在美国合法工作1-5年，可重复申请参加项目，不仅包含赴美中文教师，还包括英语，西班牙语，法语等语言教师；物理，化学，地理等自然科学教师；特殊教育（主要能够解决如多动症，自闭症的学生，简单的说就是管纪律的教师），艺术教师，音乐教师，数学教师等在美国中小学幼儿园的各科教师。Educators teach fulltime at a U.S. accredited primary or secondary school or in an accredited pre-kindergarten program.
申请要求：英语流利，2年或2年以上教学或相关经验，最低有大学学士学位，最好大学的课程有教育学，心理学，教育技术学的学分或中国教育部门的教师资格证等的中国公民或非美国本土的公民，赴美中文教师母语是中文的都可申请，但最好是大学学习什么课程就申请什么科目的教师会好一些，如大学学的是英语教育，完全可以申请赴美的中文和英语教师是完全可以的，实际上赴美中文教师美国需求量不是很大，加上美国华人的竞争中国赴美中文教师连同汉办一年大约300人左右，更多的是数学，艺术，特殊教育，理科教师，英语教师需求量更多啊！
薪水待遇：美国的J1教师可在美国的中小学及幼儿园（学前教育）学校任教，薪水最低与美国本土教师工资一样，一般在3500-7000美元/月（根据各州及申请人的学历和教学经验不同，折合人民币2.5万-5万），有时还比美国本土教师的工资高10-30%，J1教师是临时教师，一般工作1-2年是免税和不用缴纳社保的（美国本土教师需要缴税是工资的10-30%，每个州不同），家属可办理J-2签证，申请人可读研读博等；
教师资格证：美国本土教师如果要进入美国公立学校任教，必须要有美国各州的教师执照，否则，不能去学校任教（私立学校无需教师资格证或非教育专业的都可），但J1教师可通过大学学分教育认证，暂时在美国学校任教，到达美国以后再考取美国各州的教师资格证，一般来说J1教师考取美国教师资格证比较容易，因为大学学分可以抵换美国教师资格证的一些科目，目前，美国教育部门不认可中国所有的教师资格证包括国家汉办的国际汉语教师证书。
监管机构：美国的J-1教师项目由美国国务院指定一些组织作为签证Sponsor，除了美国雇佣学校与申请人签订合同以外，还需要Sponsor签发J-1签证的DS2019（DS2019有雇佣学校的名称，地址，申请人的详细情况及Sponsor的名称及项目号码等），申请人只有持DS2019原件，才能去办理J-1签证，我们与5-8个美国国务院知道的Sponsor合作，可在美国全境进行签证赞助。
相关费用：1）中国常用的模式就是申请人一个月的薪水作为服务费，大约35000元人民币左右(对于一些优秀的候选人或经济困难的申请人可拿到工作邀请函或到达美国以后再缴纳部分费用），具体以签订协议为准，Sponsor的行政管理费和服务费从申请人的返税或雇佣学校承担，机票，签证费自行承担，这种模式确保申请老师与美国教师同工同酬，是我们2011年首次使用；这种方式是由Sponsor面试和匹配学校，有区域限制；
2）我们的服务费用35000元人民币左右，美国Sponsor的行政管理和服务费由申请人自己承担或雇佣单位承担，大约1600美元一年，如果是3年大约4000美元左右，返税等全部或部分归申请人，这种方式申请人选择范围比较大，而且申请人比较合算，申请人可直接与雇佣单位洽谈面试，商议薪水及是否报销相关费用等，全中国我们2020年使用！
3)首次引进南卡北卡仅限教育类专业，工资比较低，因为美国学校需要给Sponsor一笔很高的费用，虽然给老师购买机票，承担签证费，但实际因为工资比较低，是很多老师都不知道的原因，相同的项目，我们北卡，南卡现在的工资最低4200美元/月，而报销机票机票和签证费一般是3800美元左右/月，一年至少多3000美元，2年就是6000美元，机票和签证费需要多少钱，我想很多老师应该知道的。
赴美时间：主要是每年的7-8月，少量岗位是每年的2月，申请人最好提前3-10个月申请，以便有更多更好的岗位；

Possess sufficient proficiency in the English language.
Benefits
Educational and cultural enrichment: Exchange teachers sharpen their professional skills and participate in cross-cultural activities in schools and communities, and they return to their home school after the exchange to share their experiences and increased knowledge of the United States and the U.S. educational system.
Sponsors are required to:
Screen and select qualified foreign teachers based on qualifications and also based on who can make a contribution to the education of students in the United States and who want to learn U.S. teaching methods;
Verify each teacher applicant’s English language proficiency through recognized language tests or interviews;
Monitor the exchange teachers’ stay in the United States to ensure that they are satisfactorily performing their teaching responsibilities, and;
Ensure each exchange teacher completes a cultural activity component annually, which includes two requirements:
First, each exchange teacher must complete, within the United States and during each year of program participation, an activity for the teacher’s classroom, larger host school or host school district population, or the community at large that gives an overview of a cultural aspect of the teacher’s home country.
Second, an activity that involves U.S. student dialogue with schools or students in another country, preferably the teacher’s home country.
Sponsors must provide participants with the following information:
The duration and location(s) of the participants’ program;
A summary of the significant components of the program, including fees and costs of the program, a written statement of the teaching requirements and related professional obligations; and
A written statement that clearly indicates the compensation package to be provided to the exchange visitor teacher and any other financial arrangements relevant to the program.
Hosts/employers are required to:
Involve exchange teachers in school and community cultural activities; and
Monitor the performance of exchange teachers in the classroom and in carrying out official responsibilities.
Extensions
The base period for a teacher exchange is three years. However, host schools may apply to the sponsor for a one or two year extension of the exchange (the extension must be for whole years, not fractions of years). Extension requests are not automatic, but there is no limit on the number of extensions that the State Department can grant.
Sponsors must submit extension requests they approve and any supporting documentation to support the extension to the State Department no later than three months prior to the beginning of the desired extension period for the teacher.
