Mary Jane Patterson Fellowship
Flamboyan has partnered with the DCPS’ Office of Family and Public Engagement (OFPE) since 2013 to facilitate family engagement training for aspiring school leaders through the Mary Jane Patterson Fellowship (MJP) — an 18-month DCPS program that prepares talented DCPS employees to become principals. Flamboyan and OFPE jointly facilitate a five-session learning experience for the Patterson Fellows where they learn practical strategies for leading family engagement in their schools.
