Yale Changemaker Fellowship

As a Changemaker Fellow, I have permission to make space, focus on the real needs of students, and take creative risks in a supportive community. I am stronger, more joyful, and I have realized I am unbreakable.

[As a student,] it really changed everything about school for me. It became a place where I could thrive, a place where I could take control of my own life in a world where everything thing else seemed out of control.

It’s not yet just another thing to do... Once you really understand how to become a changemaker classroom, it’s actually less work and more freedom because you give your students ownership and more accountability.

This experience has been reinvigorating. I truly believe it will give teachers a source of camaraderie, inspiration, and support as they seek to be Changemakers in their districts and nurture Changemakers in their student populations. This program provides a source of encouragement, hope, and affirmation.

Changmaking to me as a parent has been phenomenal. My daughter has grown more confident in her abilities. As young students, I think it’s important that these kids know that they can make a difference – and this is a program that definitely influences that.

The most significant impact was being part of a community, which invited self-reflection, inspiration, challenges, and growth…which I have found to be an integral part of my personal life, my teaching, and my parenting.
