Jeanes Fellows Program Elements

The Jeanes Fellows Program is a partnership between the Dudley Flood Center and the Innovation Project (TIP) designed to provide consistent and intentional infrastructure to support community-school relationships using an equity lens.

To build the capacity and support of each Jeanes Fellow, the program will incorporate the following program elements.


Cohort Model

Jeanes Fellows will operate on a two-year cohort model. The cohort model will:

  • Provide support and professional learning opportunities that Fellows will leverage to implement equitable and strategic initiatives in their districts.
  • Provide a space to build Fellows’ capacity to engage in cross-district collaboration and thought partnership.

Educational Equity

Equity is the heart and soul of the Jeanes Fellows program and will be the lens through which Fellows operate.

  • Using an equity lens, Fellows will work with their districts to advance strategic initiatives and build authentic school-community relationships.
  • Fellows will work with district and community leaders to identify prominent inequities and develop community-driven and equitable solutions/programs.

Community Partnerships

In alignment with the commitment of the original Jeanes Supervisors, education must extend beyond the school building to be successful.

  • Jeanes Fellows will work to provide infrastructure to develop and support community-school relationships that are authentic and meaningful.
  • Fellows will embrace the mantra of doing the next needed thing to build school-community partnerships.

Design Work

Fellows will engage in intentional design work as a cohort.

  • Fellows will receive professional development that guides them to think about existing barriers in their communities and districts through a new, collaborative lens.
  • Fellows will lead design work in their local districts amongst district leaders, school-based staff, and their community to disrupt long-standing inequities and overcome historic barriers with innovative solutions.
