Seeking out and applying for grants and fellowships isn’t something we are ever taught in teacher prep. Teachers do have unique opportunities that are not available to anyone else. Much like this one from the National Association of Japan-America Societies.

Teachers of Economics, Social Studies, Geography or History in grades 6-12 may apply for this 10 day study tour of Japan that includes:

• Visits to Japanese schools to interact with students and teachers,
• Meetings with scholars and experts on Japanese society and its education system,
• Visits to major Japanese companies and meetings with senior company executives,
• Home stay with a Japanese family, and
• Cultural and fun events.
• Round trip air transportation from participants’ home city to Japan
• Accommodations
• Ground transportation
• Meals

There are expectations that the teacher must submit by various deadlines.

Application deadline: Feb 1, 2018
