Reach the World
Description: Through our interactive website, Reach the World enriches the school day by connecting classrooms to travelers on actual journeys across the globe. RTW identifies volunteer travelers, manages web-based educational content posted by these travelers, and delivers customized curriculum and teacher training via graduate student interns, drawn from local teaching colleges such as Teachers College, Columbia University. In 2006, the National Geographic Education Foundation named RTW a Model Program in Geography Education, one of only six in the nation.
