We held our second annual Fellowship Summit and it was a blast! We gathered fifteen educators who are interested in pushing the boundaries of how we teach children.

It was a jam-packed three days of joyful, intellectual exploration and creation, including:

Questioning current schooling practices 

Creating 3-D versions of dramatically different schools

Sharing authors who shaped our thinking

A paper snowball fight

Student panels to hear their feedback and ideas

And a panel of other educators to provide feedback on individual projects

During the school year the Fellows will continue to meet virtually in critical friends groups to share their progress and gather feedback on new ideas or challenges. This year’s Fellows are:
