| Professor receives Fulbright Scholar grant |
|
|  John Fritsche, professor of education at Illinois College, has been awarded a Fulbright Scholar grant to lecture at Qatar University in Doha during the 2011-2012 academic year.
Fritsche will be designing a professional development plan for K-12 in-service teachers in Qatar and will also teach courses within the College of Education at the university. Qatar’s educational system is presently undergoing an unprecedented reform with the College of Education at the center of it all.
“I am looking forward to a rewarding and productive experience at Qatar University teaching courses for the College of Education and working on their research agenda supporting the Qatar National Development Strategy,” Fritsche says. “I also look forward to developing collegial relationships with educators concerned about issues of teaching and learning.”
Fritsche is one of approximately 1,100 U.S. faculty and professionals who will travel abroad through the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program in 2011-2012. This will be the second time Fritsche has been a Fulbright Scholar. In 2002 he traveled to Cyprus where he completed seminars for English language teachers, developed a cooperative learning seminar for mathematics teachers, and designed performance tasks for use in the classroom.
The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government and is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. |
