While I have not yet had the opportunity to attend these Study Tours, they are firmly on my professional bucket list. Through The Traveling Teacher podcast, I will be interviewing educators who have participated in these transformative experiences to share their insights, stories, takeaways, and application tips. Stay tuned as we explore these global learning opportunities together!
