***************************

 

The Washington, DC Education Policy Fellowship Program (EPFP), supported through the Institute for Educational Leadership (IEL), is a 10-month program that focuses on education policy, leadership development, and networking. Since the establishment of IEL in 1964, the EPFP has been at the core of the Institute's work to serve as a catalyst for improvements to the education system. IEL's mission is: To equip leaders to work together across boundaries to build effective systems that prepare children and youth for postsecondary education, careers, and citizenship.

 

The EPFP provides a unique professional and personal development laboratory for applying new insights and cultivating new skills in the areas of educational policy, leadership, and networking. This 10-month professional development program has been fundamental to developing leaders in the education field across the country for more than half a century.

 

Learn more about the EPFP experience in our brochure and feel free to share this email broadly with your networks.  The application page provides more detail about the expectations for Fellows who participate.  To ensure that you get into the 2014-2015 cohort, I strongly encourage you to apply before July 31, 2014 (and to secure a discounted rate). Final applications will be accepted through September 9, depending on availability.

 

Please feel free to contact us with any questions about the EPFP.  You can reach us at: Monique Felder (felderm@mail.epfp.iel.org), Dahlia Shaewitz(shaewitzd@mail.epfp.org) or Amy Yamashiro (yamashiroa@mail.epfp.iel.org). As former Fellows, we can attest to the value of the program in support of personal growth as leaders and professional career growth. The EPFP provides an incredibly rich network of policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and advocates throughout the education policy field. 

 

Very best,

 

Dahlia Shaewitz, Monique Felder, and Amy Yamashiro
