The May 2024 issue of the ATA News featured Calgary teacher Tyler Dixon, the lucky recipient of the Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship. Back then, he was about to realize his dream expedition to Antarctica aboard the National Geographic exploration vessel “Resolution.”
Dixon’s trip took place in November 2024, and he came back with cargo-hold full of incredible experiences and lifelong memories. He shares some of those memories here, hoping to inspire other teachers to step out of their comfort zone to experience our world.
"My expedition to Antarctica with the Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship program was the experience of a lifetime. I saw, experienced and learned so much throughout this opportunity. I am incredibly thankful to both National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions for making this a reality. I look forward to bringing back all I have learned to my students, my school and the larger educational community."
