Josephine Miles Fellowship
(this program is currently suspended)
The Josephine Miles Fellowship is an excellent way for teachers in San Francisco public schools to renew their enthusiasm for and commitment to their profession. Through the thoughtful construction of a professional development plan that incorporates a UC Berkeley or UC extension course, Josephine Miles Fellows acquire new skills they can use in the classroom, take on leadership roles at their school sites, and creatively collaborate with their colleagues.
Golden Apple Fellowship
(this program is currently suspended)The Golden Apple Fellowship gives outstanding educators in San Francisco public schools the opportunity to improve their teaching skills by taking a semester off from their regular teaching duties to pursue coursework at UC Berkeley. Under the guidance of UC Berkeley faculty advisors, the fellowship provides teachers with time to sharpen their subject matter expertise, broaden their knowledge base, and reflect on ways to teach more effectively.
