Nominate an MCS Teacher for the Teaching Policy Fellowship

Do you know a current Memphis City Schools teacher who is passionate both about teaching and about shaping the teaching profession to improve results for urban students?

The Teaching Policy Fellowship engages excellent early-career teachers (with 3-10 years of experience) to work on issues related to the future of the teaching profession. The Fellowship is rigorous and selective, admitting only 20 teachers for the two-year program. While continuing to teach full time, Teaching Policy Fellows meet monthly to interact directly with education policy leaders and research experts; analyze policy; study innovative practices; and advocate for reforms that would retain them in the profession. To learn more about the Fellowship, please read the Frequently Asked Questions.

Nominees are not required to apply nor are they guaranteed acceptance.

Nomination deadline: August 20, 2010
