The Fellows at the Center

The Fellows at the Center is a group of practicing educators committed to advancing social justice and pursuing an equitable education for each and for all. The purpose of The Fellows at the Center is to create a space for alumni of Center projects like Project LEAD and the Promise Teacher Equity Internship (formerly JSS Promise Teacher Corps) to network, learn, and collaborate with each other and to support historically underrepresented and marginalized youth, while at the same time continuing to learn about and support issues and initiatives of social justice, and coaching diverse teachers and leaders to be social justice catalysts and effective educators just like you.  To become an official member of The Fellows at the Center, please complete the information linked below and give us permission to share your information in The Fellows At The Center Directory for all of the members of The Fellows at The Center.  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1SMZ8sJqnal74m2Q4nT7uzXH7J5jWd-mMKId4G-eVU-M/edit?usp=drivesdk

Center Partnership and Task Forces

Participate in online monthly Center Partnership and Task Force meetings which convene more than 40 deans, chairs, directors, and education faculty, as well as PK-12 administrators and teachers and leading educators to explore key issues in preparation, practice, teaching, learning, and leadership.
