Description
The Pulitzer Center Teacher Fellowship is a paid, virtual professional development program for educators interested in connecting their students to underreported global news stories. Through collaboration with journalists and the Center’s education team, fellows design and implement short curricular units (3–10 class periods) that foster media literacy, empathy, and connections between local experiences and global issues. Fellows assess student outcomes and share their work through the Pulitzer Center’s lesson library and professional development programs.
