Is now the winter of our discontent? No, no, it’s not discontent, exactly. But these next few weeks before the winter solstice are the darkest days of the year, and in these parts, the cold is starting to settle in.
Teachers, here’s something to dream about, and better: a way to make those dreams come true. The Fund for Teachers offers $12 million in grants for summer fellowships which are open to teachers from both independent and public school schools. Grants of $5,000 for individuals and $10,000 for teams are available for teachers who design their own professional development experiences and apply online. Applications for 2010 are due on January 29th. It could be a glorious summer!
