Global Learning Fellowship Grant

The NEA Foundation's Global Learning Fellowship empowers K-12 public school educators to integrate global competency into their teaching. Through a year-long program featuring online coursework, professional workshops, and an international field study in Costa Rica, educators enhance their skills to provide students with a global perspective. This initiative fosters collaboration among educators, policymakers, and community leaders to improve educational outcomes while promoting equity and antiracism in education.

Through the NEA Foundation Global Learning Fellowship, public school educators develop the knowledge and skills to integrate global competency into their daily classroom instruction, advocate for global competency in their schools and districts, and help students to thrive in our increasingly interconnected world.
Over the course of a year, NEA Foundation Global Learning Fellows immerse themselves in online coursework, webinars, reading and reflection as well as in a two-day professional workshop and an international field study.
