The Public School System has started receiving applications for the 1999 Christa McAuliffe Fellowship for eligible teachers and principals.<\/p>\n
Education Commissioner Rita Inos announced that the grant has been expanded to allow 10 fellowships instead of just one.<\/p>\n
Deadline for submission of application is Sept. 27, Inos said in a memo to teachers and principals.<\/p>\n
An applicant may request a fellow grant of maximum of $2,500.<\/p>\n
Eight years of experience as a class room teacher is among the eligibility requirements for an applicant.<\/p>\n
Grant recipients, according to Inos, also have to agree to a condition for them to return to teaching position for at least two years following the completion of the award.<\/p>\n
“Repayment of the award shall be made to the state in case of fraud or gross noncompliance by any recipient,” Inos said.<\/p>\n
The fellowship priorities involve areas on research on school improvement plans through local content and performance standard development, and assessment design; learning technologies for classroom use, development of innovative programs; as well as projects that involve community and school partnerships.<\/p>\n
“The fellowships should be for professional development expenses with little or no equipment or materials being purchased,” Inos said. (MCM)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
