Innovation fellows

The Collaborative’s Innovation Fellows are top STEAM teachers and administrators nationally. The first Collaborative Fellows were identified in the Collaborative’s initial round of K-12 STEAM effective practices research. Additional Fellows are added periodically, based on their excellence in teaching and administration and their abilities to move the STEAM field forward. Collaborative Fellows who were identified when they were K-12 teachers remain Fellow advisors when they move to positions in higher education.
