In partnership with The Creative Core and on behalf of the education programs committee at The Merwin Conservancy, we’re pleased to announce the official selections for our 2018-19 Merwin Creative Teaching Fellowship, a pilot program that brings W.S. Merwin’s values for attention and imagination into classrooms throughout the Hawaiian islands, offers teachers time for reflection and renewal in W.S. Merwin’s palm forest, and promotes greater social-emotional learning in students and our greater community.
