teacher fellows for academic year 2019-2020:
The Kevorkian Center's Teacher Fellowships aim to enhance the development of K-12 curriculum materials that both convey a nuanced view of the Middle East and adhere to Core Curriculum standards. Each Teacher Fellow will receive the following benefits as part of their Fellowships:
- A grant in the amount of $1,500 that may be used towards research, materials for curriculum development, and classroom activities,
- Borrowing privileges at NYU Libraries for one calendar year (Sept - August) and advising services from NYU’s Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies librarian.
- A formal mentoring relationship from a NYU faculty member on the Fellow’s curriculum development topic. This may take place through 2-3 in-person meetings spread throughout the academic year as well as through email correspondences.
The Teacher Fellowships culminates in a final lesson plan to be presented at an outreach program hosted by The Hagop Kevorkian Center.
