INNOVATION FELLOWS
The Collaborative’s Innovation Fellows are top STEAM teachers and administrators from across the U.S. The first Innovation 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 K-12 STEAM field forward. Fellows represent the arts, sciences, and administration. Collaborative Fellows who were identified when they were K-12 teachers remain Fellow advisors when they move to positions in higher education.
These Fellows help lead the Collaborative’s K-12 STEAM initiative.
