Trustees Fellowship: Woodrow Wilson Academy of Teaching & Learning

The Woodrow Wilson Academy of Teaching and Learning is offering a fully funded M.Ed.—all students enrolled in 2019 will receive full program tuition ($27,000) through the Trustees Fellowship.

The WW Academy is a new kind of master’s degree program that makes the most of the way learners learn. It throws out the clock and does away with traditional courses and credits. Prospective teachers will be assessed on what they know and can do.

Candidates will have the opportunity to practice and prove their skills in simulated classrooms, creating a safe, low-stakes environment where they can learn from both their successes and mistakes. There will also be a series of challenges—opportunities for candidates to learn while working through situations drawn from everyday classrooms. The different elements of the WW Academy’s blended model will culminate in a clinical placement where the prospective teacher will be placed in a partner school, student teaching under the guidance and mentoring of a master teacher.
