The U.S. Department of Education’s Charter Schools Program is seeking reviewers to evaluate applications for the 2012 Charter School Program Exemplary Collaboration Awards competition. This grant program is focused on encouraging high quality charter schools who partner with non-chartered public schools to collaborate on best practices in education and operation, and the dissemination of that information. These collaborations can focus on a wide variety of areas including special education services and providing students with disabilities access to charter schools by way of transportation, professional development and training, and the climate of the schools.
If you are interested in applying as a peer reviewer for this program, please email a copy of your resume or CV to charterschools@ed.gov by August 7, 2012. This should clearly address the background of your expertise in charter schools.

- State Educational Agency (SEA) charter school program grant administration
