Why Be a Teaching Fellow?
Teaching Fellows is a highly selective, two-year program for ambitious college graduates to build the skills and mindset of exceptional educators and future leaders.
Fellows build leadership skills by co-teaching classrooms of under-resourced students, and they’re supported with ongoing and effective training.
This program is a two-year commitment. An education degree isn’t required; college graduates of any major are encouraged to apply.
