Here are two opportunities for travel abroad this summer, one for ELL teachers and one for all K-12 teachers:

K-12 Teachers of all subjects may apply to the Travel Grant option of the Teacher Treks Program. Travel Grant awardees are offered the opportunity to go abroad for 2-3 weeks to travel, explore and experience culture firsthand. Teachers will choose their destination of travel and develop their own itineraries. Teachers who receive the Travel Grant will be required to travel to any of the countries where Hilton Worldwide has hotel properties (including its affiliate brands). The timeline for this track of the program is during the 2014 summer months (June-August).

K-12 Teachers of English as a Second Language (ESL) or English Language Learners (ELL) are eligible to apply to the Teach Abroad option of the Teacher Treks Program. Selected Teach Abroad awardees will be placed at a Hilton Worldwide hotel for 2-3 weeks to provide language and cultural enrichment classes about American culture and customs to Hilton Worldwide employees.
