Teach Plus Illinois is thrilled to announce four different fellowships for educators this fall: 

• the Chicago Change Agent Fellowship, 

• the Teaching Policy Fellowship, 

• the Early Childhood Educator Policy Fellowship, and 

• the Affinity Group Facilitator Fellowship! 

Teach Plus Illinois’ programs are highly selective leadership opportunities for outstanding teachers looking to expand their influence without leaving the classroom. They span the 2024-25 school year and offer selected teachers a generous stipend for their time and effort. 

The Change Agent Fellowship supports Chicago teachers who see a problem they want to address at their school, the Policy Fellowships are for teachers throughout Illinois who want to advocate for policy change on behalf of their students, and the Affinity Group Fellowship is for teachers who want to facilitate supportive environments for teachers of color. Grow as a teacher leader by exploring one of these four opportunities! 

For all programs, Teach Plus Illinois is seeking cohorts of excellent educators who reflect the cultural, linguistic, and geographic diversity of our students. Additionally, applicants: 

• Are teachers with at least two (2) full years of teaching experience by August 2024

• Have a track record of success teaching students

• Are ready to dedicate time and passion to their fellowship
