Good Reason Houston’s New School Launch Fellowship (NSLF) provides a unique opportunity for diverse, visionary, entrepreneurial educators to design, build, and launch new school models in Houston. The Fellowship launches school models that are developed in partnership with and responsive to local family input and community demand, with the ultimate goal of launching new models that break new ground in the city and create world class education opportunities to the students who need them most. As part of our commitment to dramatically increase the number of great public schools in Houston by 2025, we believe new school models are needed Houston are needed. Based on our own research in Houston, we know that even before the COVID-19 pandemic a high percentage of parents in Houston felt limited by public neighborhood school options and had a strong interest in more diverse school choices for their children. The New School Launch Fellowship is part of Good Reason Houston’s efforts to partner with school districts and charter management organizations to create new schools for Houston’s students and families.
The New School Launch Fellowship is for instructional leaders who already have a strong school vision shaped by community voice and rigorous piloting and are ready to start operationalizing their model to launch a new school. The Fellowship is designed to develop leaders in three main areas: submitting a high-quality application to open a new school within a district or as a new independent charter school, creating a new organization including setting up a 501c3 and establishing a Board to support to success of the school, and building skills in community-based design to develop a school model rooted in community need, partnerships, and data. If this is you, we encourage you to apply, today!

This fellowship had helped me on my journey by ensuring that I had the tools and support necessary to create my school model. The fellowship creates different sessions with consultants who helped us to gain more clarity of how to create a budget as well and crafting a staffing model that is aligned to the budget.
