  Apply to 2012-2013 Einstein Fellowship
  The Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship Program provides a unique professional development opportunity for accomplished K-12 educators in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to serve in the national education arena. Fellows spend eleven months working in a Federal agency or in a U.S. Congressional office, bringing their extensive knowledge and experience in the classroom to education program and/or education policy efforts.
  
  Host agencies that have participated include: the Department of Energy (DOE), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Department of Education (ED), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
  
  The Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship Act was signed into law in November 1994 and gives the Department of Energy (DOE) the responsibility for managing the program (Fellowship Act Public Law 103-382, Improving America's Schools Act of 1994). The DOE Office of Science's Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) manages this program for DOE in collaboration with the Triangle Coalition for Science and Technology Education and the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education.
  
  Some outstanding contributions of past Einstein Fellows include:
  
  Designing and implementing national science, math, and technology education programs;
  
  Initiating collaborations and partnerships among Federal agencies;
  
  Drafting legislation and advising on policies that seek to improve K-12 education in the United States;
  
  Creating web-based science education programs; and
  
  Establishing and evaluating national and regional programs centered on school reform and teacher preparation in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology.
