Kenan Fellows spend five weeks in the summer with mentors from universities, innovative industries and professional educators and two weeks in a Summer Institute. Fellows work in labs, develop new research skills, engage in leadership workshops and build professional relationships with colleagues.

As their research progresses, they use the summer experience to create lessons that are adapted to the subjects they teach. Kenan Fellows bring this new, relevant information into classrooms at a level that is appropriate for their students.

They continue developing their projects in the fall and present their lessons at professional conferences throughout the next year to help improve teacher instruction and student learning across classrooms in NC.

Please join us in congratulating these exceptional Davie County educators!
