Virginia Humanities is currently seeking six educators to join the K-12 Educator Fellowship scheduled to begin in March 2024. They are additionally seeking one educator for the Encyclopedia Virginia K-12 Educator Fellowship (with an additional $500 stipend) to incorporate EV content into their learning experience.
All educators committed to teaching the humanities, including media specialists, librarians, curriculum specialists, after-school specialists, and home school teachers, are encouraged to apply. The use of the term “educator” encompasses anyone who is committed to creating inclusive learning experiences in a K-12 classroom. The cohort will consist of educators from across the state and will bring a wide range of humanities curriculum focus, from the elementary level to the high school level, allowing them to design new learning experiences that are easily accessible for both a physical classroom and remote use.
The cohort of K-12 Educator Fellows will spend nine months creating two learning experiences with lesson plans (designed around the current Virginia Standards of Learning) and aid in planning a professional development offering in collaboration with other fellows and Virginia Humanities staff. Fellows will be given a stipend of $4000, supply needs for their classroom (up to $180), and two relevant books needed for research (up to $60). Fellows will be given unique opportunities for collaborations with specialists in their areas of interest as well as Virginia Humanities staff.

Fellows will be paid $4,000 in three installments:
Fellow will receive first payment of $1,000 on June 28, 2024
Fellows will receive second payment of $1,000 on September 27, 2024
