On my end, I have been spending my recent summers doing Spanish language immersion classes in different locations, and just published an in-depth review of this year’s learning experience in Puerto Rico, which you can read below. To fund classes like this, check out Andi Webb’s ever-growing list of educator grants for organizations like Fund for Teachers, and also seek out hyper-local opportunities. (Ex: If you’re a Massachusetts librarian, reach out — I have a very niche grant for you!)

Puerto Rico Spanish Classes

If you’re interested in advancing your language skills, immersion classes for a week or more can make a huge difference. This article discusses logistics, pros and cons, and costs (surprisingly affordable!) of taking Puerto Rico Spanish classes, drawn from a recent first-hand experience. It also offers suggestions for other countries and classes that might be a match, depending on your goals.

Learn More About Reiki Training

Feel free to reach out with questions. As some of you may know, I’ve been a public school teacher since 2004, and have run TeachingTraveling.com since 2010, and starting in 2018, I began another kind of teaching during the time I’m not at school: Reiki Japanese energy balancing. This relaxing meditative technique has been a wonderful complement to my educational life by helping me self-reset after a difficult day teaching, and perhaps it could be for yours, too!

Other PD Scholarship Opportunities:
