Teacher, administrators, counselors, and other school leaders have an opportunity to join a national dialogue about education.

However, time is running short to apply for the 2022-2023 cohort of the U.S. Department of Education’s School Ambassador Fellowship.  The deadline to apply is Friday, January 14, 2022.

According to an announcement from the Department of Education, the School Ambassador Fellowship Program is designed “to improve educational outcomes for students by leveraging the expertise of school-based practitioners in the creation, dissemination, and evaluation of national education policy.” The Department said ideal candidates for this program are educators from public, charter, independent, magnet, parochial schools, etc. “who have made significant contributions to student learning and culture, can effectively communicate to a variety of internal and external education stakeholders, and can promote excellence in education through their collaboration and leadership capabilities.”
