In gatherings facilitated by Shelburne Farms Institute for Sustainable Schools staff, fellows have the chance to connect, collaborate, and support each other; to draw inspiration from invited speakers, ranging from artists to climate scientists; and to have dedicated time to work on their own projects. Participants find the program to be transformative -- not just with regard to their skills as educators but also their mindsets, moving them from "doom and gloom" to hope and empowerment. The work of curriculum transformation will continue, and plans to establish a school garden are underway.
