The focus of this fall’s Pulitzer Center Teacher Fellowship Program will be “Making Connections to Global Health Stories.”
As part of this paid, virtual Fellowship, a cohort of up to 14 educators will explore global health stories over the course of six workshops in a community with other passionate Fellows, award-winning journalists and the Pulitzer Center education team. They will analyze how news stories engage students in critical analysis of several global health topics, guide students in making local connections, and explore paths for students to apply their learning to address health issues in their own communities. Ultimately, educators will design a rigorous learning experience that centers at least one news story and culminates in an activity exemplifying empowered action. Participants will share the results of this learning experience by publishing a narrative blog post or lesson plan capturing student learning, engagement, and empowered action. Fellows’ work will be shared on the Pulitzer Center website.
The six two-hour online evening sessions will run from October through December 2024. Upon completion, Fellows will receive a $600 stipend, a digital badge, and a certificate for 30 professional learning units (PLUs). The Fellowship is open to US-based public and private school teachers in grades 4-12. Educators working with adults or youth in jails, prisons, or youth detention facilities are also encouraged to apply.
