Malott Educator Fellowship Overview
Principals in Priority Schools face unique challenges, including high student mobility, that require specialized support. In partnership with the University of Illinois Chicago’s Center for Urban Education Leadership and Wise Leadership Consulting, the Malott Educator Fellowship provides intensive professional development and coaching tailored to these needs. Now in its second year, fellows collaborate in small-group PLCs within monthly full-day learning labs and receive individualized coaching. Together, they surface challenges specific to Priority Schools, learn effective strategies, and work toward solutions. Continuing its focus on principal self-efficacy, practice, and retention, the fellowship will support 25 principals in 2024-25, aiming to improve organizational and student learning outcomes in schools led by Malott Fellows.
