The North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources announced today that applications for the 2025 America 250 NC Teaching Fellows are open.
Fifteen K-12 teachers representing each region of the state will be selected for this in-depth professional learning opportunity.
Fellows will visit N.C. Historic Sites around the state, engage in virtual learning throughout the seven-month fellowship to deepen their historical scholarship, and enhance their teaching practices through exploration of best practices. This opportunity also aims to create a learning community where educators can network with other historians, scholars, and authors.
“This fellowship is one of the many ways DNCR seeks to support our state’s talented K-12 teaching professionals,” said Pamela B. Cashwell, secretary of DNCR. “As we approach the significant milestone of America’s 250th anniversary, this collaborative fellowship will foster a deeper understanding of and interest in North Carolina’s rich history, while supporting educators around the state to inspire our next generation of engaged and informed leaders.”
Applications are being accepted from K-12 teachers of all disciplines until April 15. For more information and the application, visit www.dncr.nc.gov/america250fellows.
The 2025 America 250 NC Teaching Fellows program is sponsored by DNCR in partnership with Carolina K-12.
