What is the Massachusetts Policy Fellowship?
The Massachusetts Policy Fellowship is a highly selective leadership opportunity for outstanding teachers looking to deepen your knowledge of education policy and gain a voice in decisions that affect your students and the teaching profession. The fellowship is open to teachers in the Greater Boston area and to teachers across Massachusetts.
· Fellows receive training through expert-led modules and direct engagement with experts in education policy and key decision makers. No prior policy experience required.
· Fellows expand their influence without leaving the classroom.
· Fellows stay focused on their classroom and minimize disruptions to their instruction by using a blended learning approach with a combination of monthly virtual and live meetings held after school, or during the weekend.
· Fellows receive a $1,500 stipend for their commitment.
Qualifications:
Teach Plus seeks a cohort of teachers who reflect the cultural and geographic diversity of Massachusetts. Apply to the policy fellowship if you:
· Are a current teacher of record (ECE-Grade 12) with at least two full years of teaching experience by August 2024.
· Have a track record of success teaching students in traditional public or charter schools in Massachusetts.
· Are ready to dedicate your time and energy to learning about policy and advocating on behalf of changes that impact your students — while continuing to teach full time.
· Have a passion for sharing the diverse perspectives and experiences of students and teachers with policy makers.
Applications are due on May 27, 2024.
