ATEEC Fellows Network
ATEEC Fellows tend
to become friends;
Supporting each other;
Welcoming, feeding, and
caring for first-timers;
Sharing their knowledge
and experience;
Making their communities better;
Helping their students be thinkers;
And letting people at home know
Iowa is not that flat!

Returnees
+ First-timers =
= Access to talents of educators ATEEC knows with the fresh eyes and thinking of new
Fellows, whose life experiences inform us all.
= Continuity of the ATEEC network yet steady growth of the network, so that it always looks
beyond rather than inward.
= A sense of belonging combined with a sense of venturing into something new.
= Fellow teachers who are diverse geographically, culturally, and in teaching disciplines, but
who share the desire to make a difference with students and the environment.
