While cruising around on YouTube the other day I came across this very helpful video called Five Things Teachers Must Be Doing in 2026. In this 4 min. 13 sec. video from Freducation, the creator presents five easy, practical, real-world strategies teachers need to be using in 2026, starting with knowing every student’s name and building a real connection with each student, no matter how many students you have. From chunking lessons to leveraging technology, AI, and short videos, these are strategies that make learning more engaging, relevant, and accessible for every student. Whether you’re new to teaching or a veteran educator, these shifts matter now more than ever. Take a look, and then give them a try

One of the most important missions of an educator today is to develop global citizens. What better way to do this than through a teacher-exchange program such as the prestigious Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board?

The Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board is a US cultural-exchange program sponsored by the US Government’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The program was founded by US Senior William Fulbright in 1946 and is considered one of the most widely recognized and prestigious scholarships in the world. Since its founding, the Fulbright Program has provided more than 400,000 participants from over 160 countries with opportunities to exchange ideas and contribute to finding solutions to the complex challenges facing our communities and our world. These participants were chosen for their academic merit and leadership potential. More than 400 US educators teach overseas through the Fulbright Program annually.

Upon returning to their home countries, institutions, labs, and classrooms, Fulbright teachers share stories about their experiences and often become active supporters of continued international exchange, inviting foreign students to their campus and encouraging colleagues and students to go abroad.

Fulbright alumni careers are enriched by joining a network of thousands of highly-regarded scholars, many of whom have become leaders in their fields. Notable Fulbright alumni include 62 Nobel Prize laureates, 89 Pulitzer Prize recipients, 78 MacArthur Fellows, and 41 who have served as a head of state or government.
