When employees establish themselves as thought leaders in their field, it can significantly benefit their professional growth and career advancement. When they consistently share unique ideas, insights, and best practices, they build a reputation as an expert. This helps them gain credibility and influence. As more people look to them for guidance on trends, challenges, and innovations in their expertise, they expand their opportunities, professional network, and ability to effect change and impact decision-making in your industry. The benefits extend to employers, too. The reputation lift and authority advantage conferred from consistent, forward-looking thought leadership offers manifold benefits for an organization seeking to make its mark as a leader and exemplar within its own industry. _______________ |
The Systems Impact Fellowship, launched October 2022, brings together local TFA alumni in school based and systems level roles with community stakeholders to activate their leadership towards systems change and transformative outcomes for students. With deference to data and research around adult learning theory, the scope and sequence of the fellowship is informed by the participants, making the experience unique and differentiated for each cohort. By the end of year one, participants will identify a collective, local project to pursue that builds on the strength and diversity of participants and advances existing or newly developed metrics to impact education. Year two is centered on execution and unity in pursuit of better. All projects will serve as proof points of what is possible with strategic cross-sector collaboration. _______________ |
