The award includes a stipend of $2,000 and a $500 allocation to cover registration fees and travel for conference presentations. The Fellowship is the first project supported by the Anne and Ryland Brown Teacher Enrichment Fund. Programs such as research fellowships and teachers’ institutes will provide K–12 teachers at Virginia public PREWAR DAYS The Brown Fellows will assist with research for the and private schools with opportunities for in-depth study, for the development of teaching materials, and to exhibition Secession or Union, which will feature interact with teaching colleagues and members of the Library’s staff. The endowment’s goal is to enhance this pen-and-ink sketch entitled “The Village the quality of instruction by Virginia teachers, with a focus on history and social studies. Magnates, 1861,” by David Hunter Strother. Note The selection committee for the initial Fellowship chose two deserving educators: Celia Polin and the Ordinance of Secession posted on the brick wall and the African American man eavesdropping. Nathanial Morrison. “While we initially set out to identify one fellow, we were torn and decided instead to invite them both,” said Tameka Hobbs, program and education coordinator for the Library. “The committee was impressed with Morrison’s integration of technology into his students’ project and with Polin’s stellar record of innovative teaching and leadership.” The 2009 Brown Fellows will develop a variety of educational resources in support of the Library’s upcoming exhibition Secession or Union, which examines Virginia’s road to secession in 1861 and the events leading up to the American Civil War. The teachers will create formal lesson plans that build on the exhibition’s contents. They will also provide input for the exhibition’s Web site as well as on design elements and thematic treatments within the physical display in order to engage students visiting the exhibition. As an added feature of the award, the funds provided to allow the Fellows to present the results of their work at a state or national conference will encourage leadership and professional development.
