Teaching and Learning 25 NEA Foundation Global Learning Fellowship Application The NEA Foundation Global Learning Fellowship is a fully-funded professional development program that helps educators prepare themselves and their students for global citizenship. Over the course of 12 months, a cohort of educators from all over the country come together through a blend of online, peer, and fi eld-based learning opportunities. Fellows learn from experts about how to teach with a global perspective, but, perhaps most importantly, they also learn from each other about what works best to connect their students to the world beyond their classroom. They share what they learn with educators around the country and the world. The 2018 Fellows just published a book of lesson plans: 12 Lessons to Open Classrooms and Minds to the World. Applications for the 2020 NEA Foundation Global Learning Fellowship are open now through February 4, 2019.
