These teaching fellowships offer a stipend to teachers who have devoted themselves to developing pedagogical innovations in the teaching of poetry.
Fellows participate in the creation of a poetry curriculum the summer before the festival, which will then be available to other teachers, encouraging them to bring poetry into their classrooms.
This year's fellows are John Bouton, Kiara Krukoff, Sarah Craig, Dennis Magliozzi, Courtney Marshall, Kristina Peterson, and Jill Pinard.
