We are excited to announce the launch of the NMC K-12 Ambassadors Program, a global search for teachers who are committed to using innovative approaches to teaching and learning in their K-12 classrooms. Distinguished as NMC Ambassadors, these 25 individuals will earn a one-year NMC membership as well an influential place within the NMC community as part of a diverse group of K-12 educators. Though we know many of you are at universities, we encourage you to share this opportunity with all of the amazing K-12 educators in your networks!
Selected ambassadors will serve as knowledgeable members of the NMC Horizon Project K-12 Advisory Board in the discussions that lead to the NMC Horizon Report > 2013 K-12 Edition, be the experts in their field in the NMC Commons, and gain recognition among an international body of colleagues as innovative educators.
