| Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation Teacher OutReaCH (TORCH) workshops are standards-driven and content-based. They stem from the Woodrow Wilson CORE Institutes and are led by experienced Woodrow Wilson Teachers, alumni of CORE. Woodrow Wilson Teachers, in collaboration with their local district or school, initiate most TORCH workshops. Funding from the National Science Foundation and Howard Hughes Medical Institute is available for workshops developed out of the Biology and Environmental Science CORE Institutes held from 1997 through 2001. Funding from GTE, NASA, and Texas Instruments has also been made available to sponsor workshops that meet specific conditions. If you are interested in sponsoring a TORCH workshop at your own school, district, college, or professional organization, please contact the Leadership Program for Teachers at lpt@woodrow.org or (609) 452-7007. Woodrow Wilson Teachers, alumni of WWNFF month-long residential institutes, know their subject matter well enough to adapt to curriculum frameworks, standards, and other local requirements. Participants engage in 40 hours or more of content-based, standard-driven, integrated technology, reflection, and assessment. Host organizations receive an evaluation report the following year (on site and follow-up questionnaires sent during the subsequent academic year) upon request. As sites book TORCH workshops, they will be posted on the WWNFF web site. | |
