No applications are being accepted for 2002 Fellowships at this time. However, the current eligibility, selection criteria, etc. are listed below. Visit this website later this fall for additional and updated information concerning the application and application process. The Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship Program offers current public or private elementary and secondary mathematics, technology, and science classroom teachers with demonstrated excellence in teaching an opportunity to serve in the national public policy arena.
Fellows provide practical insight in establishing and operating education programs.
Fellowships increase understanding, communication, and cooperation between legislative and executive branches and the science, mathematics, and technology education community. The Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship Act was signed into law in November 1994. The law gives the Department of Energy responsibility for administering a program of distinguished educator fellowships for elementary and secondary school mathematics and science teachers. Albert Einstein Fellows bring to Congress and appropriate branches of the federal government the extensive knowledge and experience of classroom teachers. The Triangle Coalition for Science and Technology Education has been authorized to assist in the administration of the Einstein Fellowship program.
