These concise guides for visiting Chinese teachers, host families, and host schools have been adapted from handbooks developed for the US-China Teachers Exchange Program, which was an early leader in bringing Chinese teachers to the United States and sending American teachers to China as a cultural and educational exchange. The exchange program provided the teachers a unique opportunity to improve their own language and teaching skills; deepen their understanding of another culture; and share new curriculum, pedagogy, and experiences in their home classrooms upon their return. Today, the teaching of Mandarin is expanding throughout the world through a wide range of programs and initiatives. Berkshire Publishing plans to develop and expand the guides through its online China platform, and has produced these convenient and inexpensive versions for use on ereaders.
