Fellowship Experience
"Generation Schools needed a leader and a thinker to move an important project forward. Phil was exactly the right person for us. His work will have a direct and immediate impact with students and teachers this fall. In addition, I believe his contribution has the potential to influence the national conversation about preparing all students for success in Algebra. Thank you Phil."
Furman Brown, about Phil Stewart Founder, Generation Schools
NYC Metro Area
The New York metro area faces unique education challenges. The New York City Department of Education serves nearly 1.1 million students each year. In 2007, only 47% Black and 43% Hispanic New York City students graduated from high school. A high-quality education improves opportunities for students in the New York metro area. To address New York's unique challenges and deliver high-quality education, we need more skilled leaders working in the field of education.
