Many of my colleagues and friends have inquired on how I had this incredible opportunity -- a free trip to Germany. It started in summer of 2020. I was accepted into the Fulbright Teachers for Global Classrooms program where only 70 educators are selected across the nation each year. I then completed a six month global education course based around the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. After successfully passing that course, I was invited to a global ed symposium in Washington DC along with my building principal for three days. Next, I had to build a teaching website full of global ed resources and other elements. Then, sadly, the Covid pandemic hit, and our program was paused. Originally, my final step was planned to be a three-week trip to Thailand to learn about their education system. After a two-year hiatus, trips were rescheduled to better vaccinated countries, so I was relocated to Germany. As part of that final step, I also had to build this blog on my global ed website.
Beyond this amazing program, there are so many travel-oriented teacher programs. I'd like to share a quality list here, so more of you can have this incredible opportunity:
