 | Twenty self-guided one-week residencies for preschool through fifth grade teachers are sponsored by the Nancy M. and Douglas M. Yeager Family Foundation, in partnership with the Fetzer Institute and in cooperation with the GilChrist Retreat Center of the Febzer Institute. Interested applicants who are not current teachers (such as counselors, administrators, part-time instructors, or student teachers) may be considered based on potential benefits to students and/or the availability of residencies.
These residencies are based on Nancy Yeager's lifelong interest in and commitment to childhood education. She was first an elementary school teacher and then later a teacher/director of a preschool in Kettering, Ohio. Her love of teaching inspired her family to establish these residencies at GilChrist, which she had visited a number of times and found to be a truly serene and beautiful setting.
