| Kohl Teacher Fellowship |
|
The Kohl Teacher Fellowship program recognizes and supports teaching excellence and innovation in the State of Wisconsin, USA. Our goal is to support teachers in the pursuit of their unrealized goals for their classrooms or professional development. Annually, the Foundation awards 100 Wisconsin teachers with $1,000 Kohl Fellowship grants, and each Kohl Fellowship recipient's school receives a matching $1,000 grant. Recipients' professional accomplishments are celebrated at a recognition luncheon in the spring.
This award is a wonderful opportunity to give back to the teachers who make your school great each and every day. If you haven't already nominated someone for the fellowship program, we would encourage you to do so.Nominations must be submitted online before September 27, 2013.
