In the Words of our Teacher Fellows

  • “I have a history of participating in a variety of fellowships and this was one of my all time favorite and most impactful in my practice as an educator.”

  • “I find myself in community with amazing educators who empower and emboldened me to continue to collectively work to dismantle white supremacy.”

  • "This fellowship empowered me to provide a space and language for students to process their ever-evolving world. At the beginning of the semester, my students answered 'no' to the question of whether racism affected them. By the end, they understood that racism in America is structural, silent (at times) and consequential. They are armed with tools to combat it."

  • "The fellowship gave me the resources and confidence to implement the sort of community-building curriculum that I've wanted to facilitate ever since I started teaching. "

  • "Vocal Justice was transformational for both my students and I. Students began to understand their worlds with a new lens and understanding. They were empowered to not only use their voices but to do so with power, precision, and grace."
