A northland teacher, Kimberly Broman teaches second graders at Washington Elementary in Cloquet. She has been chosen as a Grosvenor Teacher Fellow by National Geographic Society and Lindblad Expeditions for the professional development of a lifetime.

Kimberly gets to go on a circumnavigation of Iceland in August. There are 35 fellows in her cohort.

"This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time,” Broman said. “But the thing that propels me forward is really my students, their curiosity, what they want to learn, things they want to learn about. And when I was able to tell them about this fellowship, they were just so excited."

Kimberly said her students are very interested in her trip and asked her to take a picture of a volcano and to "count all the puffins."

She says there are so many different things to learn from being able to go on this kind of professional development and she is excited to pass that information along.
