Senior Fellows

The Senior Fellows program at ISCL brings together a small cohort of 3-5 distinguished field leaders for a two-year tenure of focused inquiry, contribution, and field-building.

Senior Fellows are highly experienced leaders with a record of responsibility, judgment, and influence in public life. They work at the leading edge of the field, engaging topics that matter for the future of public education and the evolving role of the superintendent as a civic and political leader. The program is designed for leaders who want to shape how public education responds to changing social, economic, and democratic conditions and who recognize that doing so requires new thinking, new coalitions, and renewed public purpose. 

On campus, Fellows engage with HGSE faculty, students, and affiliated scholars to advance their own inquiry, and participate in Initiative activities and selected HGSE projects.
