Grants+&+Fellowships

As a educator, I believe strongly in the need to be a life-long learner. As a Social Studies teacher I am committed to teaching my students about the multicultural world in which we live. Through an understanding of what binds us as a nation and as a world, we learn to respect one another and build bridges of understanding.

Below are links to several domestic and international grants and fellowships in which I have participated. I look forward to sharing what I have learned with your students in the upcoming year.
