I am honored to have been selected as a 2023 Grosvenor Teacher Fellow. Through a collaborative partnership between the National Geographic Society and Lindblad Expeditions, 50 educators applied and were selected from hundreds for this prestigious professional development opportunity. Each fellow will embark on an expedition with the purposeful intent of bringing the world, from culture to climate and beyond, back to their classroom. Through my upcoming expedition to Indonesia, focusing on Bali, Krakatoa, and Singapore, I will collaborate with my current and incoming students as integral members of the stateside expedition team, tailoring my mission on the voyage to bring their curiosities and wonders to the forefront. With students as integral organizing team members stateside, the power of learning will be placed in their hands as we explore what sparks and fuels their explorer mindsets.
