Global Exploration for Educators Organization (GEEO) is a 501c3 non-profit organization that helps and encourages educators to travel abroad. In the summer of 2009 GEEO will run trips to Tunisia, Peru, Ecuador, Thailand, and India. GEEO hopes to make America more outward-looking by helping teachers travel and giving them an effective way to share these experiences in their classrooms.
Educators can earn graduate school credit and professional development credit while seeing the world. The trips are designed for teachers and include activities such as school visits and homestays that give participants authentic exposure to local culture. The trips are deeply discounted so as to be affordable to teachers. GEEO also helps teachers find funding to subsidize the cost of the trips.
Detailed information about each trip, including itineraries, costs, travel dates, and more can be found at http://www.geeo.org. GEEO can also be reached 7 days a week, toll free at 1-877-600-0105 between 9 am and 10 pm EST.
