The Kenan Fellowship Partnerships are crucial. Without these, I  do not know how the summer externships would exist. Without the externship, I think the fellowship would just be a networking opportunity. Don’t get me wrong, the networking opportunity is an excellent part. But the externship sets Kenan apart from other fellowship programs.

Speaking from experience…

NCSLA fellowship – main focuses are networking and advocacy.
NSF RET fellowship – main focus is on teacher as researcher and curriculum development.

Kenan fellowship – A trifecta! Networking, teacher research, and curriculum development!

Kenan partnerships are integral to this fellowship.
