Voices of Fuse

"The most exciting aspect of the Fuse fellowship is the opportunity to help teachers embrace new methods to ignite more creativity in the students who are comfortable in a traditional education paradigm and to spark more enthusiasm in those who may feel stifled or uninspired by standard practices, routines, and expectations."

Dana Gurwitch, History/Social Studies Teacher, The Education Cooperative High School, Walpole, MA, FUSE MA Fellow, Cohort 1

"The biggest successes came from the teachers I coached. They were a group of educators ready and hungry for change. They moved mountains at their school and it was such a rewarding partnership and experience. We grew together. I felt so honored to join their work."

Julie Lowerre, Innovation Integration Specialist, Dale Street School, Medfield, MA, FUSE MA Fellow, Cohort 1

"I think much more about personalization now and giving students more choices in their work. I always gave some choice on things like projects, but I have included more choice in how students complete assignments--one small example is allowing the students to complete test review sheets on paper, Google docs or Quizlet."

Rachel Dudley, Social Studies teacher, Dedham High School, Dedham, MA, FUSE MA Fellow, Cohort 1

"I liked how we could do whatever we wanted. I think it was cool because most of the time we are told what to do."

Cameron, fifth grader on given choice for their passion projects

"I am coaching in my district on a daily basis and it is going VERY WELL! I had 18 teachers K-12 apply and I accepted them all and we are all working VERY hard to TRY new things!! Student engagement is UP!"

Jill MIlton, Elementary Math Coordinator, Norwood, MA, FUSE MA Fellow, Cohort 1
