Pedagogy & Delivery Methods

Fellowship curriculum is developed through evidenced based research, education leadership frameworks, case studies, and landscape assessments of leadership competencies needed to thrive in leading across K-12. All session content is vetted by Latinos for Education’s expert staff and our external facilitators, as well as assessed for impact via diagnostic and summative surveys.

Fellows will learn throughout the Fellowship via panels and guest subject matter experts, research-based case discussions, interactive activities (surveys, discussions, reflections), learning communities, and career exploration.

The Aspiring Latino Leaders Fellowship runs from Fall 2024 through Spring 2025 in a hybrid setting. Fellows must participate in all sessions.
