NEA Foundation Global Fellows
MSEA Members Receive Year-Long NEA Foundation Fellowships
The NEA Foundation is philanthropic organization that supports educators through the Global Learning Fellowship program (GLF) and its Learning and Leadership, Student Success, Envision Equity, and many other subject-specific and inquiry-based grants.
The GLF is the NEA Foundation’s signature investment in educators’ global learning, collaboration, and leadership with a year-long program designed to enhance educators’ knowledge and skills to integrate global and cultural competency into daily classroom instruction, advocate for global competencies in their schools and districts, and help students thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.
Fellows are engaged in online coursework, webinars, reading and reflection, a two-day professional development conference, and an international fi eld study. Upon completion of the program, the Global Learning Fellows become members of an active, 450+ person alumni group that supports continued growth and leadership.
MSEA and NEA actively promote the inclusion of educator voice in leadership practice and policy, and we proudly celebrate public school educators. Learn about NEA Foundation grants for educators and fellowship opportunity available to enhance your classroom experience at neafoundation.org.
