Project narrative
College Board and Hanban/Confucius Institute in Beijing gave a two-year grant to implement a Chinese Guest Teacher program at the Richard J. Murphy School in Boston, Massachusetts. In the course of the two years, the Murphy School hosted two full-time, full-year teachers from China who taught Chinese (Mandarin) language and culture to students at the Murphy School from Grade 1 to Grade 8. While serving as the principle of the Richard J. Murphy School, the grant recipient managed an annual budget of $14,500,000USD. The Chinese Guest Teacher Program with College Board and Hanban was implemented from 2005 – 2008 (hosted two Chinese teachers per year) [suggesting that this program may have gone on for another two years].
