This unique fellowship assists emerging leaders by giving them expert mentoring and a community to develop a project that benefits the world language education profession. NECTFL has long been a champion of our region’s leaders and the list of fellows' ongoing accomplishments and contributions to the profession continues to grow and have an immense impact regionally and nationally.

This opportunity is for a leader in language learning in Rhode Island who can work on a project that would have a significant impact on world language teaching and learning. It is vital that we continue to grow and improve as a profession. The NECTFL Mead Fellowship is one way we can ensure that as a profession, we are continuing to innovate. The leadership projects can involve research, teaching strategies, or pedagogical development.
