Apply Now to Be Part of the 2018-19 Tennessee Educator Fellowship
The Tennessee Educator Fellowship provides an opportunity for a clear and consistent voice from those in the classroom. The fellowship empowers participating educators to weigh in on policy conversations at the state and local level that affect them personally, their schools, and their students. Fellows learn, share, and provide a voice for educators and students across the state as well as serve as advocates in their own regions. Click here to open the Tennessee Educator Fellowship webpage and access the application.
SCORE will select approximately 40 K-12 teachers, interventionists, librarians, and school counselors who are interested in elevating their voices in support of educators and students. Applicants must have at least three years’ experience in a Tennessee public school, and each selected educator will receive a $5,000 stipend for their work. Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. CT on Friday, March 2, 2018.
Please visit SCORE's website to learn more about the fellowship, the responsibilities of fellows, or to apply. If you have further questions, please contact Leigh Cooksey.
