I'm going to South Africa!
Last fall, I came across the Toyota International Teacher Program, which provides teachers with overseas professional development opportunities. The programs focus on environmental sustainability issues and the experiences provide teachers with new and exciting teaching tools to bring back to their classrooms. Last month I learned that I was accepted into the inaugural program to South Africa! It was a competitive process, with over 1000 teachers across the nation vying for 24 spots. I'm incredibly excited to be given this opportunity,and look forward to sharing my experiences on this blog. Please check back often--I'll post information leading up to the trip, and especially during my awesome African adventure!

Congratulations! We are so excited to follow your journey and hear about your trip. We have a special connection to the Southern African region as that's where Stephen and I met as Peace Corps Volunteers (he in Zimbabwe, and I in Botswana).
