What is Teacher-Scholar-in-Residence Program?
The Teacher-Scholar-in-Residence Program offers a short-term, usually five days, residential study and research opportunity. Teachers who are pursuing projects of outstanding intellectual or artistic promise are invited to apply. Collaborative proposals from small groups of up to five teachers also may be considered. Preference is given to teachers with outstanding proposals who are applying to the program for the first time.
