How does the Fellowship’s residency work?
Between January and February, each Fellow is placed at a residency site most often in her/his home state or district for an apprenticeship in a high-performing operating charter school. Residency sites are chosen based on the strength of their academic and organizational records, their relevance to a Fellow’s school design plans, and their ability to embrace the skills and experiences a newly trained Fellow can offer. Over the course of the residency, Fellows engage in the host schools as archaeological sites, completing projects that speak to their individual needs and skill sets, and their larger goal of developing an urban charter school of excellence.
