It is the Visiting International Faculty Program. VIFP is based in North Carolina and says it is the United States’ largest cultural (文化方面的) exchange program for teachers and schools. The program has brought about 7,000 teachers to the United States since 1987.
The program is open to teachers from Latin America, Europe, South Africa, Canada, Australia, the Philippines and New Zealand. It places them in schools in seven states for one to three years.

And they must have three years of teaching experience with students between the ages of five and eighteen. Two years of driving experiences is also required. Visiting teachers must also be able to earn a master’s degree while in the United States.
