There’s an exponential power in leaders who love to learn. They understand that learning is a lifelong journey, not defined by the boundaries of age, place, or time. That passion ripples out to their students, staff, and communities.
Over the past three years, we’ve seen this in action through our Google GSV Fellows, whose transformational work at the vital intersection of teaching, learning, and technology has impacted 5.9 million students nationwide. Now, Google for Education and GSV are fueling a new era of impact across a global community of K-12 and higher education leaders, dissolving barriers and igniting limitless human potential around the world.
The newly expanded Google & GSV Ed Leader Fellowship is not merely a program but a vibrant global community. Across K-12 systems leaders and, now, higher education leaders, cohorts of international peers will share insights, master Google’s most transformative technologies, and build the strategic fluency needed to translate emerging innovation into coherent instructional practice that serves every student.
The heart of this journey remains each Fellow’s Transformational Opportunity: a system-wide initiative each Fellow defines and stewards throughout the year. Fellows will share their learnings and insights on the global stage at either ASU+GSV Summit or Bett, further widening the circle and bringing the power of the Fellowship to the world.
