Often the two aims are combined in one classroom innovation. The Summer Fellowship for Innovative Teachers is offered to further these aims. We hope to encourage teachers to consciously examine teaching methods and educational research, to risk new methods, to keep records of their results, and to publish and share their findings. The stipend also confers the status of an award on the fellowship, and appropriately honors the individual teacher who risks change. Press releases accompany the award.
Competition is open to pre-university teachers.
They must be full-time, but may be in their first year of teaching. Teachers and administrators may call or write for more details. An application package is available, and must be returned for a March 31 deadline. Students who observe such administrative reactions suffer a loss of respect for the institution and for the learning environment. This isn't a call to anarchy.
