Apply for the 2010-2012 Memphis Teaching Policy Fellowship

The Teaching Policy Fellowship engages early-career teachers in work on issues related to the future of the teaching profession. The program is rigorous and selective, admitting only 20 teachers for the two-year commitment. Teaching Policy Fellows are current classroom teachers who meet monthly to interact directly with education policy leaders and research experts; analyze education reform initiatives; study innovative practices; and advocate for reforms that would retain them in the profession. Fellows gain knowledge of education policy and then use that knowledge, along with their unique perspective as classroom teachers, to formulate ideas with peers. The work will result in a series of policy briefs, events, and speaking appearances that articulate the voice of early-career teachers on the future of the profession. To learn more, please read the Frequently Asked Questions and Sign up for a virtual info session.
