Jessica Culver, a high school civics/economics teacher in the Ozark School District, has been chosen as a member of the 2024 Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship. This program is a collaboration between National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions, with a cohort of 35 members. Culver expressed her gratitude for the opportunity, stating, “I am incredibly appreciative of National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions providing this opportunity for educators.”
The Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship allows educators to participate in expeditions to various parts of the world, including Antarctica, Alaska, and Patagonia. This year marks the 16th group of fellows who will gain hands-on experience to bring back to their classrooms. Culver’s expedition begins on June 2, traveling along the National Geographic Quest to Sitka, Alaska, and then on to Juneau as part of the “Exploring Alaska’s Coastal Wilderness” Lindblad expedition.
As a dedicated educator in Arkansas with 21 years of teaching experience, Culver is eager to share her expedition experiences with her students and hopes to grow as a global educator. She looks forward to discovering new connections and knowledge for her classroom while exploring a new location for her. With this fellowship opportunity in hand, she aims to enhance her teaching practice in The Natural State by bringing back new perspectives and ideas that will benefit both herself and her students.
