Subject: Teaching Ambassador Fellowships - Deadline April 7, 2008

Secretary Spellings has announced the creation of Teaching Ambassador
Fellowship positions for currently practicing, K-12 public school
teachers at the U.S. Department of Education for the 2008-2009 school
year. These positions will offer highly motivated, innovative teachers
the opportunity to contribute their knowledge and experience to the
national dialogue on public education. The Fellowship includes two kinds
of opportunities for teachers across the U.S. Up to 20 Classroom Fellows
will remain at their schools under their regular teaching contracts and
will be paid to participate in additional Department discussions and
projects throughout the school year on a part-time basis. Up to five
Washington Fellows will be chosen to become full-time, paid federal
employees in Washington, D.C. for the school year, working on education
programs and participating in policy discussions. 

Teaching Ambassador Fellows will be selected based upon their record of
leadership, impact on student achievement, and potential for
contribution to the field. Highly qualified K-12 public school teachers
who have spent at least three years in the classroom are eligible to
apply. Teachers must be currently practicing in and employed by a public
school district to be eligible. To ensure collaboration at the school
and district levels, teacher applicants must have the full support of
their school principals. Applications are due by April 7, 2008. Teaching
Ambassador Fellows will be named by early summer for the 2008-2009
school year.
