As part of its national effort to help teens develop and embrace 21st century literacy skills, the American Society of Newspaper Editors is seeking high school teachers for an expenses-paid, two-week summer institute. One hundred seventy-five teachers will be selected to attend the 2010 Reynolds High School Journalism Institute. The deadline for applications is March 1.

There is no cost to the teacher or high school. Students who take part in journalism classes or clubs are the ultimate beneficiaries, emerging as stronger readers, writers, critical thinkers and communicators.

Air transportation, lodging, meals, materials, tuition and continuing education credits are covered by ASNE with a grant from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation.

The Reynolds Institute will take place at five accredited journalism schools: Arizona State University, Tempe, June 13-25; University of Texas at Austin, June 20-July 2; Kent State University, Kent, Ohio, July 11-23; University of Nevada, Reno, July 11-23; and University of Missouri, Columbia, July 18-30.
