Teach Plus Arkansas Newsletter, May 2022
Arkansas
•May. 19, 2022Through the Fellowship, we develop, support, and empower some of Arkansas’s best teachers to become advocates for their students by developing specific policy recommendations that will improve educational systems for all children across the state.
Teach Plus trains teachers in understanding education policy as a lever for student success, community organizing, writing op-eds and speaking to the media, providing public testimony, and more. Teach Plus works to create and connect teachers to opportunities to lead in real ways at the policy level.
Teach Plus recruits and selects Arkansas Teaching Policy Fellows from across the state to participate in the cohort experience. You will become part of a larger movement of teacher leadership and help mobilize your peers around top issues impacting the teaching profession in Arkansas. Teach Plus works with key stakeholders and policymakers to join the conversation.
The written application asks you to complete general demographic information, short responses and upload a resume. Applications are due May 31, 2022.
You will be notified if you have been invited to participate in an interview. Interviews will take place virtually June 13-16, 2022.
You will be notified if you have been selected to join the Arkansas Teaching Policy Fellowship. If accepted, you will commit to attending the kick-off convening in Little Rock in late August (exact dates and location TBD) and monthly sessions throughout the fellowship.
Nominate a teacher who wants to achieve change in their schools and in the broader education system.
