Valley teacher Janet Ruest has scored the experience of a lifetime: she’s been chosen from among 2,700 North American educators to join a National Geographic expedition. She’ll be visiting the Galapagos Islands in September as a Grosvenor Teacher Fellow on the Lindblad Expeditions ship, National Geog raphic Endeavour. A teacher at Chemainus Secondary since 1994, she’s just returned from a weekend in Washington, D.C., where, at National Geographic Headquarters, she met the other 34 people chosen as teaching fellows for 2015. For Ruest, an enthusiastic lifelong learner, it’s a dream come true. “I’ve always loved geography. I used to look at a map of the world and think, gee, it looks like a puzzle. Doesn’t this fit here and that fit there? And that was long before I knew about plate tectonics,” she said. She always wanted to be a teacher, too, and chose geography as a subject to accompany the physical education she already knew she wanted
Janet Ruest to teach. Her high school social studies teacher made a huge difference in her life. “She would come back after traveling and tell us stories, really personalize the experience. It made me want to go out and see the world. My goal in high school was to go to every single continent. I have one left now: Antarctica.” Her school experience also gave her an enquiring mind. “I’ve always wondered why. Why is that mountain that shape? Why do we have earthquakes here and not there?
