Joins 7 Other Education Fellows to Help Ignite Spirit of Exploration in Next Generation
WASHINGTON (DATE)— Dr. Kerryane Monahan of Saint Edward’s School in Vero Beach, Fl, has been selected as a National Geographic Education Fellow in recognition of Monahan’s thought leadership in the education space and will help to elevate the work and reach of the National Geographic Society’s educational offerings. As an Education Fellow, Monahan will support innovative project development and project leadership, share their expertise on an emerging issue or priority and help incubate new ideas for improving K-12 geographic education. Seven other highly respected educators from the United States and Canada were also selected as the 2019 National Geographic Education Fellows.
This opportunity provides inspirational individuals with a platform to communicate their work and its contribution to the National Geographic Society’s purpose and its vision of achieving a planet in balance. Fellows work alongside National Geographic staff to ignite the spirit of exploration in the next generation and to provide classroom resources and student experiences that reach millions of students throughout North America each year. Through the National Geographic Education Fellowship, Monahan will connect with communities of like-minded educators and National Geographic Explorers from around the world.
As part of this recognition, the Education Fellows traveled to National Geographic Society headquarters in Washington, D.C., this month where they participated in a multiday, hands-on workshop. The course included a National Geographic Sciencetelling Bootcamp, where candidates learned from world-class National Geographic staff and previous Education Fellows about how to make the most of their Fellowship.
Monahan will be working with National Geographic Society staff this year focusing on “developing engaging citizen science educational resources and curriculum.” Throughout the Education Fellowship, Monahan will receive training and support from National Geographic to help elevate them and their work.
Monahan’s bio and photo are available on the National Geographic Education website.
