A3 science teacher selected to go on global expedition

ASHLIN SANDERSON / THE CHRONICLE

SPRINGFIELD – How does a teacher learn about new subjects and ways to teach and engage their students? Academy of Arts and Academics science teacher Katie Ryan was selected to go on an expedition to do just that.

Last week, the National Geographic Society, in collaboration with Lindblad Expeditions, announced the 36 selected participants from across the nation for the 2026 Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship cohort. The Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship is a professional learning opportunity for pre-K-12 educators who will embark on expeditions around the world.

The experience is meant to deepen the Fellows’ geographic knowledge through immersive, field-based experiences they will bring back to their classrooms, communities, and professional networks to ignite curiosity about the world.

Ryan was looking for an opportunity to further her professional development, so she went to Google. It was there that she found out about the fellowship.
