For more than sixty years, the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation has identified and nurtured the best minds to help meet America’s most urgent challenges through fellowships and through programs aimed at institutional change. Its 20,000 Fellows have won 13 Nobel Prizes, 34 Macarthur “genius grants,” two Fields Medals in mathematics, and many other major awards.
They occupy key leadership positions in the academy, government, business, the arts, and
nonprofit organizations. The Annenberg Fellowship brings the strength and prestige of this national network to teaching.
The Foundation also has an existing expertise in creating strong partnerships between universities and schools. For the past 25 years the Foundation has drawn upon its higher education expertise to connect schools and universities and promote teachers’ professional development. It serves as a catalyst and convener for school/college initiatives.
Arthur Levine, president of the Foundation, has studied teacher education and written extensively on its transformation. Before coming to Woodrow Wilson, Levine served for 12 years as president of Teachers College, Columbia University, where he led a six-year study of America’s schools of education. This study produced three major reports—Educating School Teachers, Educating School Leaders, and Educating Researchers—that examine education school programs and offer recommendations for improvement. The Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship reflects this transformative approach.
