Teacher Fellowship Program

C-SPAN's Teacher Fellowship program is designed for middle and high school educators who are familiar with C-SPAN’s programs and can demonstrate innovative methods of incorporating these programs into the classroom.

This year C-SPAN will select up to 5 fellows to collaborate with the Education Relations team to develop new teaching materials.

Each selected C-SPAN Fellow will:

Work remotely with the team from July 1 – July 26 to create new educational resources.
Develop content using C-SPAN programs that will be hosted on the C-SPAN Classroom or StudentCam websites.
Participate in C-SPAN’s Virtual Summer Educators’ Conference on Wednesday, July 24, 2024.
Receive a stipend of $1,000.00 for their time, work, and participation in the program.

Examples of projects former Fellows have developed are:

Fellowship recipients will be selected and notified by Friday, May 31, 2024.

C-SPAN Classroom is thankful for our many past Teacher Fellows, who have helped to build hundreds of instructional resources that now serve countless students and teachers across the country!
