Very Interesting

I received this in an e-mail from a friend:

Teaching Ambassador Fellowship positions at the Department of Education
for the 2008-09 academic year. These positions will offer highly
motivated and innovative public school teachers the opportunity to
contribute their knowledge and experience to the national dialogue on
education. The program includes two tracks. Up to five Washington Fellows will
become full-time federal employees in Washington , D.C. ,
participating in policy discussions and working on education programs. Up to 20
Classroom Fellows will remain at their local schools under their regular
teaching contracts and be paid for various assignments and projects
throughout the school year on a part-time basis. All fellows will be
selected on their record of leadership, impact on student achievement, and
potential for contribution to the field. Only highly qualified public
school teachers who have spent at least three years in the classroom
are eligible to apply. And, to ensure collaboration, fellows must have
the full support of their principals. Applications are due by April 7.
Fellows will be named by early summer. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE
