Our Alumni Community

Since 2018, four cohorts of courageous, equity-driven leaders have completed the Transformative Educational Leadership Fellowship.
Together, they represent a growing Beloved Community of educators, school and district leaders, and systems changemakers who are
transforming education from the inside out.

Across schools, districts, universities, and communities around the world, TEL Alumni continue to embody mindfulness, compassion,
and justice in action, leading with tenderness and courage in service of collective liberation and the well-being of all.

We celebrate each of our Fellows for carrying forward TEL’s mission and for the love, wisdom, and transformation they bring to their communities.

Once a Fellow, always part of our Beloved Community.
