Have you applied for the 2017 Grosvenor Teacher Fellow Program yet? If not, you have until 11:59 PM Eastern on December 31, 2016 to apply for an all-expense-paid adventure of a lifetime!

This field-based professional development experience for educators could take you to the Arctic, Iceland, the Galápagos, Canadian Maritimes, British & Irish Isles, or even Antarctica! New to the list of expeditions for 2017 is exploring the Alaskan coastal wilderness.

We’re looking for current formal and informal K-12 educators from the 50 U.S. states, Canada, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Visit NatGeoEd.org/gtf for eligibility and application requirements.

Be inspired as former Grosvenor Teacher Fellows tell you what to expect—from tectonic trolling to ammonoids in the Arctic, and the colors of the Galapagos to sunscreen in Svalbard.

Applications are open until 11:59 PM EST on December 31, 2016.

The Grosvenor Teacher Fellow (GTF) program is a professional development opportunity made possible by a partnership between Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic Education. The program is named in honor of Gilbert M. Grosvenor, Chairman Emeritus National Geographic Society and Education Foundation Board. This opportunity gives current K–12 classroom teachers and informal educators from the 50 U.S. states, Canada, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico the opportunity to extend Grosvenor’s legacy of excellence in geographic education. Exemplary educators are recognized for their commitment to geographic education and given the opportunity to travel aboard the Lindblad-National Geographic fleet. Through this experience, they bring new geographic awareness into their learning environments and communities.
