Tuscaloosa Academy Teacher Wins National Geographic Fellowship
A local teacher at Tuscaloosa Academy, Jaclyn Foster, has been chosen for the 2021 Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship from the National Geographic Society and Lindblad Expeditions.
This fellowship selects 50 educators to embark on a one- to three-week trip to a remote location. According to National Geographic, this could include locations such as the high Arctic, southeast Alaska, Central America, Antarctica, or the Galápagos Islands. After the trip is over, these teachers will be ambassadors to other National Geographic educators for two years.
