Fellowship Opportunities for Teachers

Last spring through my affiliation with iCivics,  I had the opportunity to speak with Carina Wong, Gates Foundation Education Strategy Leader  (  http://www.gatesfoundation.org/What-We-Do/US-Program/College-Ready-Education/Strategy-Leadership/Carina-Wong ). 

She sent me a great resource from the Gates Foundation called “What are you waiting for? Teacher fellowship opportunities.”   It is a one of kind resource listing a variety of opportunities for teachers.

2 years ago, Connie Hambey and Karon Decker won a Fund for Teachers grant to travel to Thailand and study elephants.  I think this would be an awesome thing to share with our faculty.

Many of these deadlines for applications are spread throughout the year.  I have a paper copy if someone needs one, but here is a digital copy we can share with the district.  http://collegeready.gatesfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/What-Are-You-Waiting-For.pdf
