2026-27 Principal Wellness & Policy Fellowship Application
Principal Wellness & Policy Fellowship
The Principal Wellness & Policy Fellowship exists to support principals in prioritizing their personal wellness while navigating the demands of school leadership. We believe that effective leadership begins with well-being, and we invest in principals through wellness experiences, professional learning, and a collaborative network that promotes resilience, reflection, and sustainable leadership.
The fellowship also equips principals to become influential voices in education policy. Through leadership development, policy learning, and collaboration with fellow school leaders, participants gain the knowledge and confidence to advocate for meaningful policy reforms that strengthen schools, empower educators, and improve outcomes for students and their communities.
What is the Principal Wellness & Policy?
The Principal Wellness & Policy Fellowship is a year-long program designed to support school leaders in balancing personal wellness, professional excellence, and meaningful engagement in education policy.
Through monthly wellness sessions, policy-focused learning opportunities, professional development experiences, and leadership development programming, participants strengthen their capacity as educators, advocates, and changemakers. The Fellowship equips principals to prioritize their well-being while advancing policies and practices that promote educational equity and student success.
