Cobb teacher wins fellowship to travel abroad

A Cobb County social studies teacher was the only Georgia teacher awarded a federal fellowship to learn about history, culture and education abroad, according to Cobb County Schools.

Jennifer Dawson of Lost Mountain Middle School was among 68 teachers picked to participate in the Teachers for Global Classrooms program funded by the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

The former Cobb teacher of the year will get graduate-level training. She'll also travel for two weeks to Brazil, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Morocco or Ukraine.
