By All Means Senior Fellows
Expanding the impact of cradle-to-career place-based systems
EdRedesign's By All Means Senior Fellowship is a visiting fellowship initiative for exemplary senior leaders of place-based collaborative action. The Fellows bring diverse expertise and experiences in cross-sector partnerships, politics, policymaking, school district leadership, community organizing, and public service for the challenges facing children, youth, and families today. Each cohort of Fellows will spend two academic years working with EdRedesign on signature projects that aim to amplify the impact of their work and the field of place-based collaborative action on the national stage.
The Fellowship facilitates new opportunities for collaboration between the Harvard community and leaders at the forefront of social innovations advancing educational equity, upward mobility, and racial justice.
