Jennings Action Research Fellows

Each year, a group of highly dedicated teachers that attend the annual Educators Institute in the fall chooses to continue to our Jennings Action Research Fellows program. During the year-long program, they deepen their skills while developing a specific project for their school - all within the atmosphere of great support and camaraderie amongst a strong cohort of passionate fellow educators from across the state.

Congratulations to our 2024 Jennings-Fund for Teachers Fellows!

See the list of our newest Fellows here and check out that map below for their destinations. We are looking forward to highlighting these amazing and dedicated teachers following their Summer travel experiences.

Each year the Jennings Foundation partners with Fund for Teachers to honor and support Ohio public school teachers who think big, design a summer fellowship to creatively help them grow as professionals, and engage in learning experiences all over the world.
