All Rural Trust Fellows are required to submit a curricular unit or new instructional strategy/approach resulting from their 2009 Fund for Teachers fellowship. These units will be disseminated throughout the group and shared with future Rural Trust Fund for Teachers Fellows.

To support you in the development of this curriculum we will be holding a post fellowship meeting on September 24th 25th and 26th. PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS with these dates and confirm your need for attendance with your principals. We will be in contact regarding this meeting as the date draws closer.

At this meeting we will:

• Share your experiences of your fellowships
