Application
Description
The online application has four sections that must
be completed by the applicant(s):
| > |
Profile
of the applicant(s) and the applicants’
school on the cover sheet; |
| > |
Proposal outlining
project or activities; |
| > |
Draft of curricular
unit or action plan; |
| > |
Itemized budget detailing
the anticipated costs by category. |
Applicants are asked to address the following questions
in their proposal:
FELLOWSHIP RATIONALE AND PURPOSE: When thinking
about your teaching practice, what would you like
to learn? What are the key questions you want to explore?
What challenge or passion inspires your proposed fellowship?
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Describe and outline in detail
your proposed fellowship. What key activities will
you pursue, and why are they important? What is the
time frame for achieving the goals outlined in the
rationale and purpose?
TEACHER GROWTH AND LEARNING: How will your fellowship
help you address your key questions and/or learning
goals? How will this fellowship help you grow as a
teacher?
STUDENT GROWTH AND LEARNING: How will students benefit
from your proposed fellowship? What meaningful additions
will this experience bring to your classroom?
BENEFITS TO SCHOOL COMMUNITY: How will your fellowship
experience contribute to your school community's efforts
to engage students and improve learning? How will
you share the fellowship learning with colleagues?
DOCUMENTATION OF LEARNING: How will you document
or report on the impact of your summer experience
to your students, your colleagues and your school
community? Consider documentation methods that will
show evidence of and reflection on your learning experience.
IMPLEMENTATION OF FELLOWSHIP LEARNING: Please outline
a curricular unit that will integrate experiences
and learning from your proposed fellowship. The outline
should demonstrate the strong connection between your
fellowship and student learning. Your curricular unit
outline may describe a newly created unit or outline
enhancements to an existing unit. Within the space
available, focus on clearly showing unit goals, student
skills developed, general content covered, and teaching
methods used.
In a few cases, a curricular unit outline may
not be the best evidence of the strong connection
between fellowship learning and student learning.
For example, a fellowship may result in improved leadership
skills or the development of work in student advisory
classes, larger departmental programs, or extra-curricular
programs. If this is the case, please create an action
plan that outlines a strategy for implementing these
programs or the newly acquired skills.
BUDGET NARRATIVE: Provide a brief narrative showing
evidence of thoughtful planning and research into
your specific itinerary. The narrative should explain
the rationale for the project’s expenses.
