This summer, 20 Fellows from Cohorts VII and VIII embarked on and returned from their ILEs. Seven Fellows reflect on their ILE, share their learnings, and describe how they continue to transform from their experience.

We asked our Fellows to share ways they support self-care within their teams and for themselves. Here’s what they had to say.

Cohort VII Fellow Sondra Leiggi Brandon shares a checklist of recognizing the signs of stress in children and ideas to help them through it.

Cohort I Fellow Noelani Kalipi writes about a collaborative effort to transform STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) for girls and women of color.

The Early Childhood Action Strategy team shares recent successes with the Words Matter/LENA program.

Cohort VI Fellows Stephanie Shipton and George Yarbrough joined forces to offer educator-entrepreneurs an opportunity through their inspiring collaboration, the Social Impact Incubator Program.
