Yale National Initiative Fellows for 2025
Since 2005, teachers from New Castle County in Delaware have participated in the Yale National Initiative, which promotes the establishment of new Teachers Institutes based on a partnership between a high-need school district and a local college or university to improve teachers’ content knowledge. Six teachers from Delaware have been named Yale National Fellows for 2025.

Reflecting on the DTI Experience:
Mike has been a Fellow since 2016 and is a 2017 Yale National Initiative Fellow.
“This is a curriculum development unlike anything you have access to in your buildings or districts. You get to be in charge of the unit you develop, providing you with an opportunity to infuse your personality into your teaching.
My unit from last cycle replaced my final exam, and the project is really giving students an opportunity to explore topics of interest to themselves while also using the principles of chemistry we have covered this year.”
