Reminder from the NEA Foundation
Global Learning Fellowship Applications Are Due 4/6/26
The Fellowship Opportunity
The NEA Foundation’s Global Learning Fellowship is an impactful, yearlong experience designed for public school educators ready to bring a global lens into their teaching and leadership. Fellows engage in workshops with educational experts, collaborative learning, and mentorship while designing a capstone project connected to the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals. The experience culminates in a 10-day international field study in which educators explore the education systems, culture, and history of another country. More than professional development, this fellowship reshapes how educators approach equity, perspective-taking, and real-world learning. With over 500 alumni representing every state and grade level, the program continues to expand what is possible for classrooms and communities in an increasingly interconnected world.
