The Fellowship is Developing a New Generation of Leaders Committed to Drive Meaningful Change in Education and Support Diverse Student Populations
Boston, MA — Latinos for Education is proud to announce the selection of 39 exceptional educators for its 2024 Latinx Teachers Fellowship (LTF). The fellowship provides crucial support to early-career Latino teachers in Massachusetts, Greater Houston, and the Bay Area, equipping them with the tools and networks they need to thrive in the classroom and stay in the profession long-term.
Through a hybrid approach that combines virtual and in-person sessions, the fellowship prepares participants to become advocates for their students and communities, enabling them to drive positive outcomes for students of color while connecting with a national network of Latinx educators. Fellows will engage in professional learning communities on topics such as policy and advocacy, supporting multilingual learners, and AI in the classroom.
Launched in 2020 during the pandemic, the Latinx Teachers Fellowship has evolved to meet the specific needs of Latino educators. It addresses the critical need for support among early-career teachers, helping close the gap in teacher development by equipping fellows with essential skills, resources, and a strong professional network to thrive and remain in the field. “The Latinx Teachers Fellowship is a vital initiative that equips Latino educators with the tools they need to make a lasting impact on their students,” said Amanda Fernandez, CEO of Latinos for Education. “By empowering Latinx educators to lead and advocate, the Fellowship is paving the way for a more equitable and inclusive education system.”
The 2024 cohort includes a diverse group of classroom teachers from districts like the Houston Independent School District and the San Francisco Unified School District. To learn more about the fellows, click here.
