Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship: The professional learning opportunity of a lifetime
National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions partners with the National Geographic Society to offer the Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship, a professional learning opportunity for pre-K–12 educators. Educators selected for the fellowship travel aboard an expedition for a life-changing, field-based experience and deepen their expertise on how to increase geographic awareness in their classrooms, schools, and communities. Since the start of the program in 2007, 365 educators from 49 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, six Canadian provinces, Puerto Rico, and one U.S. Department of Defense Education Activity School abroad have participated in this fellowship.
