Two local educators went on adventures of a lifetime last year when they were picked to be Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic Education Grosvenor Teacher Fellows. They and 33 other Fellows journeyed to places all over the world for hands-on experience and professional development.
Dawnetta Hayes, who teaches at the School for Creative and Performing Arts, traveled to the British and Irish isles aboard the National Geographic Explorer ship. Shasta Bray, interpretive media manager with the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, traveled on the National Geographic Endeavour to the Galapagos Islands. Dawnetta and Shasta are here to share their experiences and tell us how they're using what they learned on their expeditions to teach others.
