Feeling incredibly grateful for a fellowship opportunity that will take me to Athens, Greece 🇬🇷 to deepen my learning on Autism, ADHD, and Inclusive Teaching practices. Honored to grow, learn, and bring back insights to better support the communities I serve. #FFTFellow

You cannot study education deeply without studying civilization.

Perspective changes instruction.
The world itself is curriculum.

Perfection kills more ideas than failure ever will. Most people wait until they feel confident.

That’s why most ideas never happen. Growth is usually messy before it becomes visible.

Travel expands perspective.

Perspective changes teaching.

You cannot teach students to think globally while refusing to think globally yourself.

Observation is one of the most underrated teaching skills.

Teachers are allowed identities bigger than survival.

Exhaustion should not be the defining feature of education.

Rested educators teach differently.

Curiosity is a professional skill.
Burnout is often a prolonged disconnection from inspiration.
Inspired teachers create different classrooms. #TravelingTeacher #EducationPodcast #FFTFellow https://t.co/PINpopHgO4

Professional growth shouldn’t only happen in conference rooms.
Travel teaches observation.
Observation improves teaching.
The best educators never stop becoming students. #FFTFellow

[Frances Rivera, M.Ed. @LuvTching]

Teachers deserve experiences that inspire them too.
Professional growth shouldn’t only happen in conference rooms. A teacher who stops experiencing wonder eventually stops creating it. #TravelingTeacher #EducationPodcast #FFTFellow https://t.co/PINpopHODC

I’m not going to Greece as a tourist. I’m going as an educator to study ASD, ADHD, and Inclusion strategies, to learn about environments, culture, instructional design, and neurodiversity support through a global lens.

There’s a difference. #FFTFellow

Most educators are told professional learning happens inside district PD rooms.

I don’t believe that anymore.

I’m preparing for a FundforTeachers fellowship in Greece, and I’m documenting what global learning actually does to teaching practice.

This changes things.

Honored and grateful for the opportunity to grow as an educator. A huge thank you to @FundforTeachers for empowering teachers to design their own professional learning journeys and bring those experiences to students and schools. https://t.co/l702lS559e #FFTFellow
