Since 2014 Heinemann has invited educators from across the country to apply to the Heinemann fellows. Through action research, the Heinemann fellows initiative brings together a group of educators with curiosity about teaching and learning.Our third cohort of fellows, which began in 2018 will conclude their journey in 2020 so we're starting to look ahead as we prepare to invite a new round of applications for our fourth cohort. Stay tuned to the end of today's podcast when we'll share the details of how you can apply to be part of the Heinemann fellows.We're joined today by fellows faculty and Heinemann authors, Ellin Keene and Sonja Cherry-Paul. We started our conversation by asking Sonja, "Why do we do the Heinemann fellowship? What exactly does this two year commitment mean?"
