Teachers live at the intersection of policy and practice, and we need
to be central to both conversations. Understanding this, the U.S.
Department of Education has recently welcomed its sixth cohort of
Teaching Ambassador Fellows— eight teachers from across the country on
either full-time or part-time release to supply their expertise to the
federal policy apparatus. The program has proven so valuable that
inaugural cohort of Principal Ambassador Fellows is soon to arrive as
well.
As one of the full-time Washington TAFs from 2012-2013, it was an honor to pass the torch to this year’s group. Before leaving, several other outgoing Fellows and I shared some reflections and anecdotes on what the Teaching Ambassador Fellowship is all about.
Look up the new Fellows’ stories here and keep an eye out in December when applications for the 2014-2015 TAFs go live.
