Read Why New Teachers Should Apply for a Knowles Fellowship
"The Knowles community is incredibly supportive and its helped me access resources—both people and otherwise—that has helped me grow as a science teacher."
"The Knowles Fellowship changed my life. It introduced me to people who were extremely intelligent, thought deeply, and really challenged me to think about who I am as a teacher and what I want my classroom to look like. Without the Knowles Fellowship, I wouldn’t be the teacher leader I am today."
