    The Beacon educator fellowship is a 2-year program for Government school teachers to enable the skills and mindsets to develop leadership and design thinking pedagogy skills in teachers. The teachers become community leaders by enabling peer learning within teacher collectives, beyond the classroom. With the Foster and Forge team's intervention, these teachers therefore inform policy execution at district and state level by creation of demo sites where best practices can be codified to take to the state government.
