"Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all." Aristotle
The Teachers for Global Classrooms Program (TGC) is a year-long, fully funded professional development opportunity for U.S. elementary, middle, and high school teachers to become leaders in global education. Starting with the 2018–2019 program year, the program will become the Fulbright Teachers for Global Classrooms Program (Fulbright TGC). Through TGC, fellows have traveled to Brazil, Colombia, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Philippines, Republic of Georgia, Russian Federation, Senegal, and Ukraine.
Where There Be Dragons Global Educator Travel Courses
We are dedicated to cross-cultural education because we believe that future leaders will be required to think beyond borders and address the implications of resource scarcity in our global community. In this work, we feel part of a larger movement in education and want to help nurture and develop that movement however we can. To this end, our educator courses are designed to help teachers and administrators grow as global educators in and out of the classroom.

Through the NEA Foundation Global Learning Fellowship, educators develop the knowledge and skills to integrate global competency into their daily classroom instruction, advocate for global competency in their schools and districts, and help students to thrive in our increasingly interconnected world. Fellows transform their classrooms to give students a global perspective.
Fund for Teachers supports educators' efforts to develop skills, knowledge and confidence that impact student achievement. By trusting teachers to design unique fellowships, Fund for Teachers grants validate teachers' professionalism and leadership, as well. Since 2001, Fund for Teachers has invested 30 million in nearly 8,000 teachers, transforming grants into growth for teachers and their students.

Each professional development program is 8 days in length. On-course fellowship expenses for accepted fellows are subsidized by EPI through scholarship. After scholarship, program fees range from $250 to $600. This program fee is due November 1st and covers all meals, lodging, and activities while on course. EPI works hard to ensure that program fees are not obstacles to participation. When other professional development funds are not accessible to cover program fees, EPI has a limited scholarship pool available to support those who would not be able to attend otherwise. These limited need scholarships are meant to diversify and promote inclusion in the EPI Teacher Fellowship community. Each participant is also responsible for purchasing his/her own round-trip airfare to the designated program city; all other costs are paid by EPI. There is no cost to apply.
