I found out yesterday that I was selected as one of 30 teachers nationally to take part in the Toyota International Teachers Program in the Galapagos Islands. I applied in April via a series of essays, finding out at the beginning of June that I was a finalist, and then yesterday that I made the cut!
Toyota will be footing the bill to send me to the Galapagos to work on developing cross-curricular lesson plans focusing on environmental sustainability, stewardship, and biodiversity. The trip will take place from November 22-December 6. Toyota will even be reimbursing the school for the substitute I will need to have while I'm gone. Talk about service!
