The Program Leader Toolkit is PSU’s comprehensive guide for faculty and staff interested in developing and leading an International Faculty-Led Program (IFLP) and Group Travel Experiences (GTE). It provides step-by-step guidance on designing a high-quality program, submitting a proposal, navigating the review process, and managing logistics before, during, and after travel.
Whether you are a first-time program leader or an experienced faculty member, the Toolkit includes practical resources, checklists, and examples to help you:
- Align your program with PSU’s academic mission and strategic goals.
- Develop engaging learning outcomes and immersive experiences for students.
- Collaborate effectively with Education Abroad and international partners.
- Complete required Program Leader trainings in roles & responsibilities, health & safety, and more
- Manage marketing, student recruitment, and pre-departure preparations.
This Toolkit is designed to make the program development process transparent, manageable, and aligned with best practices in faculty-led international education. It serves as both a step-by-step guide and a reference resource to support you at every stage of your program.
