The Museum Teacher Fellowship is developing a national corps of skilled secondary school educators and community college faculty who serve as leaders in Holocaust education in their schools, their colleges, their communities, and their professional organizations. Beginning in 2009, up to 15 educators in grades 7 through 12 and community college faculty will be designated as Museum Teacher Fellows. These educators must show evidence of extensive knowledge of Holocaust history, successful teaching experience, and participation in community and professional organizations. They will participate in a five-day, all-expense paid summer institute at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC designed to immerse participants in advanced historical and pedagogical issues. Following the summer institute, Fellows are expected to create and implement an outreach project in their schools, colleges, communities, or professional organizations. In July of the following year, Fellows will attend a follow-up program at the Museum to assess their various efforts and to continue their study of the Holocaust with Museum staff and noted speakers.
