Support our teaching fellowship — one of the most unique aspects of our organization — with a donation to the Words in the Wild Foundation.

The teaching fellowship:

• strengthens the teacher pipeline

• provides novice and veteran teachers with skills and knowledge to bolster against burnout and teacher turnover

• teaches educators how to effectively teach reading using research-based practices

Fellows gain depth of knowledge in literacy instruction and breadth of experience supporting children. Over the course of this one to two year experience, they get:

• paid for their time both teaching and learning (that’s where you come in!)

• instructional coaching, support and professional development from Dr. Filippini and senior staff

• hands-on experience in classrooms, small group reading intervention, and one-to-one tutoring

• additional instruction in neurodiversity

• practice incorporating nature-based instruction

This Fellowship is needed now more than ever, as we all grapple with ways to better support our teachers, our students and our districts.

With your support, our goal is to add two fellows in 2025.

This ambitious goal will allow us to:

• continue providing this vital support to future teachers

• add a much-requested opportunity for inservice teachers working in their own classroom to benefit
