Description
The Pulitzer Center Teacher Fellowship is a paid, virtual professional development program for U.S.-based educators teaching grades 4–12 and those working in jails, prisons, or youth detention facilities. Fellows join a small cohort to collaborate with award-winning journalists, education specialists, and other teachers while developing short curricular units (typically 3–10 class periods) that engage students with underreported global news, media literacy, and building empathy. Participants implement their units in the classroom, assess student outcomes, and share their work through the Pulitzer Center’s online platforms and professional development events. The fellowship cultivates a vibrant community of practice among educators committed to innovative, globally minded teaching.
