About
As one of 14 teachers selected in the country, I will be traveling to Taiwan this summer on a fellowship organized by the National Consortium for Teaching About Asia. This extraordinary opportunity includes extensive preparation and two weeks in Taiwan to learn from experiencing the layers of history and identity in this unique place. While most of the professional development cost is generously provided by the Freeman Foundation, we do have to fund our own airfare. The average cost round trip is $2000, and so anything I can do to defray that cost would be greatly appreciated! After I return, I will create a unit of study based on my experiences that I will share with my colleagues through professional development presentations. As a member of my district curriculum writing committee, these lessons could potentially be used by up to 4,000 geography students a year. Global education is my life's passion, and I hope you might consider helping me bring the world to my students!
