Application Guidelines

Who Should Apply?

The fellowship program is designed for teachers and administrators (including superintendents and assistant superintendents), as well as leaders within related disciplines within school systems (e.g., school psychology, speech/language pathology). Most graduates of the fellowship program are expected to return to the public school system; however, graduates will obtain skills that may lead to positions within universities (e.g., leadership and teacher education), research, policy making, and development of technology. Graduates of the Center for Innovation and Leadership in Special Education fellowship will receive the Administrator I certification (a requirement for supervisors, assistant principals, and principals) through the Maryland State Department of Education and Towson University.
