This summer, four Hamilton County teachers will collectively explore five countries and at least 10 cities across the world to bring real-life experiences and diverse perspectives back to classrooms in the fall. The teachers, Marcie Williams and Justin Walley of Ooltewah High, Vanessa Moss of Central High and Brooke Hopkins of Soddy Daisy High, were selected as part of a competitive fellowship program through the national nonprofit Fund for Teachers. They'll each receive up to $5,000. The funds are administered locally through a partnership with the Public Education Foundation, an organization dedicated to advancing student achievement in Hamilton County. -- Chattanooga Times Free Press, Carmen Nesbitt
