As a Fellow, Bustos will spend a year in a peer learning network, building global competency skills: the capacity to understand and act on issues of global significance. Harriet Sanford, President and CEO of the NEA Foundation says, "As educators participate in the Fellowship, they become better at rethinking practices by experimenting with ideas, challenging concepts and learning with col- leagues near and far." Over the course of a year, the NEA Foundation staff, partners, and field experts will support the Fellows as they immerse themselves in online coursework, webinars, and collegial study, including a two-day professional devel- opment workshop this fall and a nine-day international field study next summer. The field study brings the cohort together as they investigate the historical and cultural context of the country they visit and interact with local educators, students, administrators, and policy-makers; make school visits; and hear from business and non-profit leaders.
