Javits-Frasier
Teacher Scholarship Fund
The
primary purpose of the Javits-Frasier Teacher Scholarship Fund
for Diverse Talent Development is to increase culturally and linguistically
diverse students' access to talent development opportunities through
teacher training and support related to equity and excellence
in gifted education.
NAGC recognizes
the vital role that teachers play in identifying and developing
gifts and talents in today's diverse student body and supports
nationwide efforts to provide training to ensure highly qualified
teachers in every classroom. In addition, NAGC values equity and
excellence and is committed to developing leaders who can effectively
advocate for historically under-represented groups.
Therefore,
this scholarship program seeks to identify passionate, innovative
teachers in communities across the country where students from
culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds are historically
under-represented in gifted programs. Teachers from racially and
ethnically diverse backgrounds are especially encouraged to apply.
