Subject: Fulbright Opportunity in Norway - Secondary Education
Dear Drs. Bullis, Kame'enui and Baker,

This is a quick note that I hope you will share with your colleagues at the University of Oregon. We at the US-Norway Fulbright Foundation are trying to spread the word about our Roving Scholar grant-a unique Fulbright opportunity in Norway for those who have teaching experience, are interested in secondary education and have a keen interest in American Studies (history, geography, literature, cultural studies, etc.) Roving Scholars are based in Oslo but spend up to 50% of their time traveling all over Norway visiting secondary schools. Roving scholars are primarily guest speakers who engage secondary students in English on a variety of self-determined topics related to American Studies. A portion of their time is also spent offering workshops for teachers-in-service and teachers-in-training.  The Fulbright grant includes a healthy stipend, on top of which all travel expenses, including a generous per diem, are paid for by the Fulbright Roving Scholars Program. This unique opportunity is currently only available for U.S. Scholars to Norway.

We are seeking scholars who are interested in the intersection of the theory, policy, and practicalities of education. As a Roving Scholar, one is offered an unparalleled opportunity to build teaching experience in a new educational setting while forging professional and personal ties through hands-on academic immersion.

We are seeking applications from interested and qualified candidates, through the usual Fulbright process (deadline August 1 for the 2014-15 school year). Please note a Ph.D. is not required for this Fulbright grant. University faculty as well as field supervisors, adjuncts or lecturers, and experienced classroom teachers with master's degrees are encouraged to apply.

For more information please see our Roving Scholar Program web pages: http://www.fulbright.no/RovingScholars.  Several Roving Scholar alumni are available to communicate with interested applicants. Please feel free to contact me, if you would like more information.

The program has been growing in recent years. Please help us recruit exceptional candidates by sharing this information with colleagues, or posting this information to relevant lists and emailing your educational contacts in other parts of the country. We sincerely appreciate your help in spreading the word.

Sincerely,

Rena Levin
Program Officer
US-Norway Fulbright Foundation
