In 2009-2010 the 21st Century Learning Alliance launched its Fellowship programme supporting teachers to carry out development or small action-research projects relating to teaching and learning for the 21st century. The Fellowship aims to support classroom teachers and those with leadership responsibility in schools (e.g. Heads of Department, Heads of Year and leaders of the stages from Foundation to Key Stage 5) who are exploring the implications of what 21st century learning means in practice either within general pedagogy, subject teaching or school organisation.
In 2009-2010 a grant of £5,000 was paid to the schools in two instalments, enabling Fellows to draw off funds as necessary for visits, resources and release time in order to pursue their identified study. Current Fellows are expected to produce a presentation in their findings in their chosen area of investigation and development. A personal honorarium will be paid to the teacher(s) on successful completion of the fellowship.
The bursary provided by the 21st Century Learning Alliance will support the teacher and the school in the research, analysis, documentation and dissemination of the findings.
The progress of 2009-2010 Fellowship programme projects will be documented on this web site over the coming year. Information about 2010-2011 Fellowships will be posted here later in the year.
