Travis, My Travel Partner

The Teachers for Global Classrooms fellowship made the wise decision to deploy us in pairs. In that way we had a partner to filter our experience through and to share cultural observations. I was fortunate to be matched with Travis Bouldin, an accomplished teacher from Washington DC. We travelled together almost everywhere in Guelmim.

Travis teaches world history at a public school that offers a rigorous college-prep environment for young men of color. We have many of the same interests in history and other intellectual fields. He also is a nature lover and has a similar educational philosophy and teaching style as I do. We get to see each other again this summer when we will be together at an AP World History training in Charlotte NC.
