I use different companies for domestic and international travel. For NYC, I love Junior Tours. I've also used Adventure Student Travel, and I was well satisfied with them.
Does anyone know of any organizations that send teachers/therapits/specialists to other countries to help train their teachers for new programs in special education or for students with disabilities? I am currently applying to an organization that sends special educators to Russia to help train trainers for their new early intervention programs. Does anyone know of any others?

If you answered yes and happen to be a woman teacher, (sorry guys)then you just might be the person I've been looking for! Though I love to travel, I hate to do so alone; and not only do my friends dislike most travel, my kids are all too old for me to drag them along anymore. (Not without considerable complaint anyway!)
A little about me: I am a 41 year old mother of three who teaches Pre-AP English and humanities. I love music, water sports, snow sports, photography, reading, writing, psychology, friendship, wildlife, nature, travel, and learning new things. During my spare time, I do some freelance travel writing and am working on my first novel. I live in Texas and prefer a mix of active/educational/adventure travel and look forward to trips in Yellowstone, Yosemite, Big Sur, Alaska, etc.
A great trip for summer you might like to try because it sounds like what you may be looking for can be found at fundyfun.com. It's fun and educational

Hi Margi, I would check with The Society for Developmental Education. I would Google it to find their website. They offer great training on this topic. Crystal Springs Books also has some great publications on this topic. I did looping several years ago and loved it!
This is a unique one of a kind adventure for active and fit people- ranging from beginning to advanced hikers. Israel a beautiful country, only the size of New Jersey and in that small area one can see snow capped mountains, lush forests, and desert canyons. The experience of hiking Israel is unlike any other- every step is a step back in time. The trails are filled with historical, biblical and archeological evidence of our past. In addition, Israel's plant and animal life is rich and diversified, in part due to the country's geographical location at the junction of three continents. Some 2,600 types of plants have been identified, ranging from alpine species on the northern mountain slopes to Saharan species in the Arava in the south. Over 500 different species of birds can be seen in Israel as well. As far as animal life-mountain gazelles roam over the hills; foxes, jungle cats and other mammals live in wooded areas; Nubian ibex with majestic horns leap over desert crags; and chameleons, snakes and agama lizards are among the 100 reptile species native to the country.
Besides hiking, the tour is filled with activities such as floating in the Dead Sea, rafting the Jordan River, enjoying Druze and Bedouin hospitality,riding camels through the desert, touring Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Haifa and other sites and much more.
The land package includes 11 full days of touring with licensed Israeli guide, private coach all accommodations, breakfast and dinner, all activities and entrance fees and costs $2150. Airfare is additional.
Upcoming dates are July 2-12, Sep. 10-20 and Dec. 24- Jan. 3.
A colleague I met at the last CLTA conference told me they were great for spring and summer travel programs. Has anyone here traveled with them? Thanks
I highly recommend Magellan Study Abroad. I teach a senior level mythology intensive course and had a desire to take my students to SEE what we were studying. I called Magellan and was coached through the process of customizing a trip to Greece.
We traveled over spring break 2008 and had a fabulous experience in every way. I am, in fact, planning another customized trip - this time to Italy - with Magellan in 2009. Magellan offered unique oppportunites that I couldn't find with other (larger and more impersonal) companies.
Their website speaks well for them. Check it out at: [link removed]
