Free Training Boosts Teaching Careers

RESTON, Va., March 7, 2012 - As part of its national effort to help educators develop and share 21st century literacy skills, my.hsj.org and hsj.org invites high school teachers to apply for an expenses-paid, two-week summer institute.

One hundred and seventy-five teachers will be competitively selected to attend the 2012 Reynolds High School Journalism Institute. Applications should be postmarked by March 12.

There is no cost to the teacher or high school. Students, especially those who take part in journalism classes or clubs are the ultimate beneficiaries, emerging as stronger readers, writers, critical thinkers and communicators. Teachers from high schools that lack online student media or have struggling journalism programs are especially encouraged to apply.

Transportation, lodging, meals, materials, tuition and continuing education credits are covered by a grant from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation. The Institute will take place at five accredited journalism schools.
Details and an online application are available at: http://hsj.org/reynolds
