Fellowship Opportunity for Educators
University of Vermont Libraries
Center for Digital Initiatives
Practitioner Fellowship Program
The Practitioner Fellowship Program taps the riches of the Prospect Archives by engaging fellowship recipients in a week-long program of study of the Archives using Prospect’s Descriptive Processes as the method of inquiry. The broad purpose of a fellowship is to introduce the Prospect Archives, to make them accessible to a wide audience, and to demonstrate the value of the Prospect Archives for educators and the community. A further aim of the Practitioner Fellowship program is to support the establishment of leadership for communities of inquiry within recipients’ own settings by showing how the Descriptive Processes developed at Prospect help people to think more deeply about their practice and current issues in education.
Recipients of the Practitioner Fellowship spend five and a half days of study at the Silver Special Collections Library with a mentor appointed by Special Collections. The 2019 Fellowship will take place from July 15-20. July 20 is a Saturday and is planned as a half-day.
Approximately three fellowships are awarded each year to school- or college-based practitioners such as classroom teachers, counselors, principals and other administrators, school board members, parents active in school affairs, and teacher educators. The fellowship will be an award of $2,000. Application deadline is Feb. 15, 2019.

The Innovative Schools Cooperative is a national network of innovative independent schools. Our schools are driven by progressive educators who believe deeply in student-centered, hands-on learning. Our curriculum and projects are open-source, and we are partnered with The Earl Center at Boston University to research the impact of innovation in education.
We wonder: what would school look like if it didn’t look like school?
This Spring (Sunday and Monday, March 17th and 18th in New York City), we are hosting our inaugural Founders Conference at Teachers College, Columbia University. We have limited space for interested and innovative educators looking to found a new school. We will also host a Fall conference for educators interested in learning more about how to integrate our immersive, hands-on project work into thoughtful curriculum.
