ACT seeks top teachers for summer program

The nonprofit ACT, best known for its college admissions exam, seeks four outstanding teachers from middle school, junior high, or high school in the areas of science, mathematics, social studies, and language arts to participate in its Visiting Teacher Program for 2008. The program brings teachers from across the United States to ACT's national headquarters in Iowa City, Iowa, where they can use their classroom expertise to review, evaluate, and develop English, math, science, and social studies teacher resources and instructional support materials.

The six-week program runs June 16-July 25. Selected teachers will receive a stipend of $5,500 and the cost of round-trip transportation. ACT will secure and partially subsidize housing for the visiting teachers. The deadline for application is December 28, 2007. For details, visit the ACT website.
