Summer Institute for Early Career Teachers

Teachers with two to five years of full-time head teaching experience are eligible to apply to receive this two week fully-funded fellowship. Up to 75 participants are chosen each year from a competitive pool of applicants. The awards committee considers a candidate's teaching promise, ability to work collaboratively and leadership potential.

To apply, candidates are asked to submit a completed application form, a personal statement, a recommendation from the division director or department chair, a recommendation from the head of school, and all post-secondary transcripts.

Tuition, housing and meals are provided at no cost to accepted students.  Students must cover their own transportation expenses to and from the program.

The Summer Institute application form is now available for download. Submissions are due by January 17 for the 2012 Summer Institute, with acceptances announced in March.  The 2012 Summer Institute for Early Career Teachers will take place June 18 - July 1, 2012.
