As a Tuva Fellow, we will support you in elevating your use of data, partner with you to spread data literacy and Tuva more broadly in your school, district, region, or state, and provide you a stipend for your time, commitment, and participation in the program.

“Don't miss the chance to be part of the Tuva Fellows Program. You will not only grow as a professional educator by gaining insight into one of the most innovative educational software tools, but also discover how to more effectively approach data with both students and colleagues.” - Janine Malavasi, 2018-19 Fellow

Fellows are current 5-12th grade educators (science, math, or other subject areas) and coaches/supervisors from throughout the United States. They spend 4-6 hours a month on Fellows related meetings and work (on average) throughout the June to June fellowship.

The experience is largely focused around:

  • Participating in the cohort community,
  • Interacting with Tuva staff and alumni Fellows,
  • Sharing Tuva with your colleagues, and
  • Implementing and sharing implementations of Tuva with others.

Who are Tuva Fellows?

You may want to become a Fellow if you are...

  • Someone who wants to share your love of data and Tuva more broadly to others, OR...
  • Someone who wants to learn more about what goes on under the hood and help make it better, OR...
  • Someone who wants to dive in deeper and better when brining data and Tuva to your students.

You must be a current 5-12th grade classroom teacher/educator (science, math, or other subject areas) OR actively coaching/supervising classroom teachers.
