Natalia Fallon The State Collaborative on Reforming Education (SCORE) has announced that 50 educators, including Harpeth High School teacher Natalia Fallon, have been chosen for the 2017-18 class of the Tennessee Educator Fellowship.
Fallon teaches ninth-grade English language arts at Harpeth. She has been teaching for 12 years.
The Tennessee Educator Fellowship is a yearlong program that equips educators to advocate for their students and their profession as they continue teaching.
Entering its fourth year, the fellowship now accepts not only teachers but also school counselors and librarians.
Since 2014, the fellowship has helped nearly 100 teachers to contribute to the discussion about education policy by appearing at public speaking engagements, inviting policymakers into their classrooms, writing about their education experience in state and national publications, creating regional professional networks, and serving on state-level policy committees.
“Our fellows bring incredible talents to the table – their expertise inside the classroom, their diverse perspectives, and their relentless focus on students and their academic needs,” SCORE Executive Chairman and CEO Jamie Woodson said. “These traits prove invaluable to state conversations on raising student achievement in Tennessee, as our fellows work both inside and outside of the classroom to prepare all students for success after high school.”
The new fellows will meet as a group for the first time in July.
Throughout the upcoming year, the educator fellows will learn through in-person and online seminars and will serve as liaisons between their colleagues, their communities and policymakers as Tennessee continues the work of improving educational outcomes for all students.
