Teaching the Teachers Program Center for Furniture Craftsmanship

Our Teach­ing the Teach­ers program awards schol­ar­ships directly to educa­tional and service orga­ni­za­tions that teach wood­work­ing to econom­i­cally disad­van­taged commu­ni­ties in the U.S. and abroad. We hope to further the work of these orga­ni­za­tions by giving their instruc­tors new wood­work­ing skills and a vision of the educa­tional wood­shop that they can share with their own commu­ni­ties through­out a life­time of teaching.

Insti­tu­tional part­ners in Teach­ing the Teach­ers nomi­nate their own instruc­tors for fully funded partic­i­pa­tion in our Work­shops. Schol­ar­ships pay all expenses except regis­tra­tion fees and costs provided for by a partner institution’s profes­sional devel­op­ment poli­cies. Covered expenses may include tuition, mate­ri­als, trans­porta­tion, and room and board.

We welcome inquiries from poten­tial insti­tu­tional part­ners with demon­strated outreach to econom­i­cally disad­van­taged commu­ni­ties, such as commu­nity colleges, trade schools, Title I secondary schools with Career and Tech­ni­cal Educa­tion programs, and nonprofit and govern­men­tal social-service orga­ni­za­tions. Orga­ni­za­tions inter­ested in becom­ing affil­i­ates should contact Dorrie Butter­field Higbee, Student Services Direc­tor, at dorrie@​woodschool.​org.
