I love the Fund for Teachers program. They support the idea that teachers know what they need to learn. They recognize that not one size fits all. They encourage creative thinking. And because of this support, recognition and encouragement, I am traveling to Ireland this summer. I am blessed--this is the second Fund for Teachers grant I have received. My first FFT grant allowed me to travel to Austria to study journalism education. That was an exciting opportunity and it introduced me to international travel and global citizenship. And I am quite sure I never would have traveled beyond my known world had it not been for FFT. And last year, I traveled to Indonesia--wow--a place I KNOW I never would have visited if I had not been introduced to international travel. And now Ireland! I am still pinching myself because I am very blessed to receive these opportunities. The whole world is out there--let's go find it!
