The Plank Fellowship
Fund for Teachers fellowships fuel transformative teaching for years to come. To recognize the continuing impact one fellowship makes on a teacher, their students and their community, Fund for Teachers annually names Plank Fellowship Award winners. These individuals demonstrate inspired implementation of their fellowship in unique and powerful ways that extend their summer odysseys throughout their teaching practice over multiple years.
The 2010 application is now closed.
