Propel Education

K-12 educational support: teacher fellows program: school district leaders and administrators partner with Ed Farm to identify educators who are passionate about innovative teaching and learning. These educators form an annual cohort known as "teacher fellowsed Farm equips them with innovative resources and teaching strategies that support active learning for all students. Teacher fellows also collaborate with one another and provide professional learning experiences for other teachers in their schools and districts. Student fellows program: middle and high school students participate in year-long, challenge-based learning experiences designed to solve real community problems. At the beginning of each experience, community leaders identify a challenge and invite student fellows to solve it during the school year. Students work together to investigate the challenge, build digital skills and create actionable solutions. Student fellows present their solutions to the community at the end of the year.
