The Teaching Policy Fellowship is a highly selective program for teachers interested in having a voice in decisions that affect their profession. During a cohort experience that spans 18 months, Fellows meet in monthly sessions that offer:
-
Personal interaction with key education leaders;
-
A challenging course of study in education policy, research, and best practices from across the nation; and
-
The opportunity to advocate for policies that will better serve students and retain excellent teachers.

The Teach Plus D.C. Teaching Policy Fellowship officially launched on January 31, with the help of U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. Learn more about the launch event.
