Year 2 impact: 300 people

Now the Teaching Fellow is also training incoming Fellows, along with expanded responsibilities for sharing their learning with the wider community. This means they’re impacting the kids those Fellows work with and creating more impact alone

Year 4 impact: 500 people

It’s year two of teaching for our alumni. 

• They’re impacting another 150 people (kids in the class, family, school communities) 

• They’re mentoring two fellow educators this year (another 300 folks impacted)

• Maybe they’re joining the curriculum committee at their district and influencing thousands (but we won’t count that in this estimate) 

• And the people they mentored last year take on their own mentees (that’s another 300).

Year 1 impact: 150 people

A Teaching Fellow begins their journey at Words in the Wild, reaching dozens of kids and their teachers and families through tutoring, family/teacher workshops, community events, and summer camp.

Year 3 impact: 450 people

Finished with the Fellowship, this alum takes a full-time teaching job. 

• They reach 25 kids in their classroom, plus those kids’s families, plus the school community; estimating low, that’s 150 people. 

• And they mentor their peers, helping other educators become stronger and teaching reading. Let’s say they mentor one peer and one new Teaching Fellow—that’s another 300 people.
