Did you know? - Fulbright

Weston Middle School Social Studies teacher, Andrew Marone, has been selected to participate in the 2025–2026 Fulbright Teachers for Global Classrooms Program, a highly competitive professional learning fellowship sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and administered by IREX. The program provides educators with opportunities to study educational systems abroad and bring global perspectives into their classrooms.

As part of the fellowship, Mr. Marone will travel to Peru this summer to work with educators and learn more about how history, culture, and geography shape educational experiences in different communities. The experience will allow him to gather resources and insights that can be incorporated into social studies instruction at Weston Middle School.

The fellowship includes professional learning, international field study, and the development of classroom materials that help students better understand global connections and perspectives.

In addition to his participation in the Fulbright program, Mr. Marone has been working to expand opportunities for students to engage with the broader world through classroom activities and virtual exchanges that connect Weston students with peers and educators in other countries.

We congratulate Mr. Marone on this recognition and look forward to the ways his work will continue to enrich learning experiences for Weston students.
