This summer, 100 American and Canadian educators traveled to Germany for two weeks, all-expenses-paid, as fellows of the Transatlantic Outreach Program (TOP).
Among the delegation was Hood River Middle School teacher Andrew Angstrom, who was in Germany between June 19 and July 4. Though each tour is different, highlights of TOP study tours typically include VIP access to policy makers, elementary and high schools, vocational schools, universities, corporations, manufacturers, cultural venues, and more.

TOP seeks to find the best and most qualified social studies and STEM educators and gives them the opportunity to experience Germany in the most dramatic way possible: in person. The TOP study tours offer a behind-the-scenes view into the pulse of German culture, which educators then bring back to their students and communities.
The Transatlantic Outreach Program was founded in 2002 to promote education about Germany, to encourage intercultural dialogue, and to provide the opportunity for North American social studies and STEM educators to experience Germany in person.
In addition to its study tours, TOP supports educators with a full compliment of free teaching materials and sponsors over professional development seminars.
