2011 Fund for Teachers: Nebraska Fellows

Eighteen Nebraska teachers representing twelve schools are now on a life changing odyssey with educational travel in the U.S. and to nine countries on four continents. With funding provided by Fund for Teachers and the Malaika Foundation, these teachers will return to their classrooms with a global perspective to inspire their students and communities.
