Fulbright Distinguished Teaching Award

Congratulations to Mr Dobson who has been awarded a Fulbright Distinguished Award in Teaching Programme. This award is granted to only two New Zealand teachers a year, giving them the opportunity to participate in an intensive professional development programme in the USA. 

Mr Dobson will spend four months at the University of Indiana, USA from August to December this year. During this time, he will observe classes and a variety of educational approaches, as well as share expertise with local teachers and students. He will also enrol in advanced courses and seminars at the University of Indiana; engage in other teaching‐related activities; and complete an inquiry project, which focuses on using technology and web based software to enhance individualised student programs. Mr Dobson will be working collaboratively with 18 other teachers from Finland, India, Israel, Mexico, Morocco, Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam. Congratulations, Mr Dobson! This is an incredible opportunity and we are very proud of you. We wish you well for the trip and look forward to hearing about the experience.
