e-Learning Teacher Fellowships
The e-Learning Teacher Fellowship programme was established in 2003. It reflects the New Zealand Ministry of Education’s commitment to quality teaching and increasing the use of effective e-learning strategies in schools and early childhood centres.
Applications open for e-fellows 2009
Applications for the e-Learning Teacher Fellowship for 2009 are now open. Up to 10 classroom teachers and early childhood educators using e-learning in innovative ways will be selected for the fellowship.
Successful applicants, supported through the fellowship, will explore an aspect of their e-learning practice and share their findings with the teacher community. The theme for e-fellows’ projects in 2009 is literacy.
e-Fellows will receive individual, specialised support from researchers from CORE Education and the New Zealand Council for Educational Research to develop a short but in-depth classroom-based inquiry project. They will collaborate with other e-fellows in stimulating and supportive professional learning workshops and contribute to research investigating common themes across the e-fellows’ projects.
The fellowship will run over the first three terms of 2009. e-Fellows will receive 15 days’ teacher release time, broadband at home for the period of the fellowship, and funding to attend a major national conference.
If you are using e-learning in creative ways and eager to build your understanding of what works for learners, put in an application to be an e-fellow in 2009.
Applications are due on 15 September 2008. Guidelines and an application form are on the Ministry of Education’s website
