Uniting Our World Through Global Learning

At Participate Learning, we believe every student deserves a chance to reach their full potential. That’s why we’ve been partnering with schools and districts in the United States since 1987 to provide International teachers the opportunity to gain new skills, form life-changing connections and impact young lives. 

As a Participate Learning Ambassador teacher, you can experience teaching in the U.S. education system while sharing your traditions with your new community. You will help plan events to celebrate your favourite holidays and serve as a role model and mentor to your school community.  

In an exciting collaboration with the Wake County Public School System, we are hiring creative and dedicated professionals who believe all children can be successful. Dillard Drive Magnet Elementary is part of the Wake County Public School System, which aims to provide relevant and engaging education and create students who are collaborative, creative, effective communicators, and critical thinkers.

• Teaching and learning that is engaging, collaborative, equitable, and centred in student choice.
• Learning experiences that expand student and staff perspectives to develop global citizens. 
• Fostering diverse and meaningful relationships with students that promote a supportive learning environment. 
• Creating inclusive and positive relationships with our families and community partners so that they are active participants in teaching and learning
