Deadline: 1-Mar-22
Applications are now open for WISE Emerging Leaders Fellowship Program, a nine-month fellowship program that aims to cultivate the next generation of systems leaders in education with the tools, skills, community, and mindset required to transform their communities and change systems.
WISE is seeking to collaborate with high impact organizations to nominate young education professionals from within their organizations or network to support their professional and personal development. In addition to completing a residential training provided by WISE, fellows will contribute to their organizations by applying their new skills on a project identified prior to or during the first residential session.
Components
- In-Person Residential Session: The WEL 2022 Fellows will participate in a two-week in-person residential session on 13–23 June 2022, which will be delivered by experienced facilitators.
- Online Workshops & Masterclasses: Fellows will integrate their learning journey with 12 online interactive workshops aimed at deepening their connections, engaging with distinguished education experts, collaborating with each other, and reflecting on their progress in the Fellowship.
- Reflective Blog Posts & Vlogs: Fellows will reflect on their learning journey by submitting 6 blog posts or vlogs during the Fellowship (approximately every 6 weeks).
- Practical Projects: Fellows will apply what they are learning during the Fellowship through the design, development, and implementation of a project in their organizational context.
- Tailored Mentoring: Fellows will be supported in the development of their projects through tailored 1:1 mentoring. WISE will match Fellows with their respective mentors after the first residential session and after having received an updated project description along with clear mentoring needs.
- Post-fellowship engagements: On a voluntary basis, WISE offers regular post-fellowship engagements, which are co-organized with the fellows to connect with alumni from the program.
