Taught to Travel

Teachers looking for homestays during their travels may want to enrol in the Educators Travel Network. For an (low) annual fee, you will have access to home accommodations world-wide- some, at discounted price.

Are you a strong proponent of geographic education? The Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship Program in conjunction with the National Geographic Education Associatin and Lindbald eExpeditions may present the most prefect travel options for you. Embark on various journeys offered world-wide and see where they take you! The application process begins each December. In the meantime, visit the website for further information on travel opportunities.

LIVFund is offering a $500 scholarship application program for volunteer/intern positions abroad in various world-wide locations. Check out the website for further details and eligibility requirements.

Here's one that might work especially well for French and Social Studies teachers, though I am still going to give it a shot: Two Washington State Universities in conjunction with the US Department of Education sponsor a K-12 Study Canada Summer Institute annually. Though not completely free and possibly requiring travel costs, the pricing is pretty standard. There is also a scholarship available to apply for. Check it out! Maybe I will see you there... :-)
