| Body | From http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060417/dam032.html?.v=48 Fund for Teachers (FFT), a national public foundation based in Houston, is pleased to announce it has awarded over $1.9 million in professional development grants to the more than 575 teachers nationwide named as 2006 FFT fellows. Grants of up to $5,000 for an individual or $7,500 for a team allow fellows to travel, attend seminars and workshops, and acquire hands-on materials and information. The teachers' self-designed excursions will enrich the learning experience in the classroom for students in cities and towns across the country. FFT fellows will travel this summer to 61 countries on 7 continents and the focus of their studies will include language immersion, literature, geography, photography and cultures, science, math, fine arts and physical education. Teachers who work with students in grades pre-K-12, have a minimum of three years teaching experience and spend at least 50 percent of their schedule in a classroom setting are eligible for a FFT summer professional development grant.
