Pre-K through 12th-grade teachers have the opportunity to pursue self-designed professional learning through a Fund for Teachers fellowship. Teachers decide what they want to learn and where they want to learn it. Their odysseys take them all over the world — as scientists, researchers, artists and agents of change — and they return to their classrooms with new ideas that transform student learning and achievement.
Fund for Teachers encourages fellowship proposals that empower teachers to seek solutions to their own, genuine problems of practice and to also encourage students to become active changemakers in their own communities.
The application is comprised of a coversheet signed by the applicant’s principal, the proposal, and an itemized budget of the proposed fellowship.
Please visit Fund for Teachers’ Online Learning Center for more information about the grant application process.
Fund for Teachers also has hosts online information sessions for interested teachers.
Since 2006, the Fund for Teachers program in Oklahoma has provided more than $3.2 million in grant funds to 940 Oklahoma teachers. This program is made possible through bridge funding from national Fund for Teachers and financial support from the Tulsa Community Foundation.
