Teacher Leadership Fellowship
The Washington Teacher Leadership Fellowship is a 10-month-long leadership opportunity facilitated in partnership with Technology Access Foundation for current K-12 teachers in King and Yakima counties who have taught for at least two years. Fellows will learn, execute, and reflect together while also growing their leadership skills rooted in their own identity. Join our network of passionate educators and learn from system level leaders and create a personalized learning plan for your own leadership journey! Applications are now closed for the 2022-2023 school year.
Meet some of our fellows!
Lizzie (Oklahoma City ‘18): I earned my undergraduate degree at Seattle Pacific University and my Masters in Education at Johns Hopkins University. I just started my fifth year teaching and my third year at my current school in Bothell. I’ve taught both 4th and 5th in the elementary setting.
Nancy: This is my 6th year teaching History at Davis High School in Yakima (where I graduated from in 2010). My B.A. is in Political Science from CWU, and my master's is from Gonzaga in education. I was born in Autlan, Jalisco, but my family decided to move to the US when I was four years old in hopes of a better future. I am currently on DACA and while a relief, this produces a lot of anxiety in my daily life.
Evelin (Washington '20): I have been teaching 3rd grade in Yakima, WA for two years. Working in education has allowed me to apply undergraduate studies in environmental science, global health, and food studies. I practice yoga, meditation, and hiking to connect, reflect, and grow. I see all of my identities, including educator, sister, Latina, partner, friend, as essential to connecting with the communities I collaborate with. Justice, liberation, and love are what I work towards always.
