The 2025 Teacher Education Summit (TES) is a three-day hybrid professional development event that incorporates perspectives from across Brazil and beyond, uniting English language teachers, education students, and school leaders for hands-on training, global collaboration, and fresh approaches to English Language Teaching (ELT).

Presented by: Citizen Diplomacy Action Fund (CDAF), Global Ties U.S., Exchange Alumni,
Regional English Language Office (RELO) Brazil, and ASSEBEPI

Led by a diverse team of educators, alumni of U.S. exchange programs, and leaders from academic institutions and education departments, TES is your opportunity to innovate, collaborate, and elevate your ELT practice—together.

Part of Innovation and Collaboration for Public School Teachers in Brazil—one of only 19 projects worldwide selected in the most competitive cycle yet of the 2025 Citizen Diplomacy Action Fund (CDAF), funded by the U.S. Department of State and implemented in partnership with Global Ties U.S.—TES will feature an inspiring mix of presenters
from diverse educational and professional backgrounds.

Participants will engage in practical, interactive sessions designed to strengthen ELT while building a connected, supportive professional community.

Supported by: English Language Programs and Fulbright Brasil

  • Global Citizenship & Cultural Collaboration – Use English as a bridge for cross-cultural understanding and global engagement.

  • Innovative Assessment in ELT – Go beyond traditional tests with creative ways to measure learning and give meaningful feedback.
