Education Pioneers Scott Morgan Fellowship Awarded 2004  Scott Morgan, the Founder and Executive Director of Education Pioneers, previously taught social studies and leadership at St. Jude High School in Montgomery, Alabama. He also served as the legal counsel for Aspire Public Schools, a nonprofit organization creating a network of small charter schools throughout California. Over the past decade, Scott worked with a variety of visionary and effective leaders throughout the field of education. Inspired by their courage and optimism, Scott started Education Pioneers to develop a national corps of education leaders focused on devising and implementing creative solutions to our nation's most pressing educational problems. Education Pioneers piloted its Fellows Program in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2004, expanded to Boston in 2005 and New York City in 2006, and is poised to dramatically increase its national impact by expanding to two new sites in 2007 and three new sites in 2008. This growth will enable Education Pioneers to develop over 400 emerging education leaders through 2008 while supporting over 100 Partner organizations. By 2012, the Education Pioneers network will include over 1,000 alumni who will drive significant change as education leaders in urban centers across the nation.
