Teaching Fellows
The Office of Teacher Recruitment facilitates an honors program for future teachers known as Teaching Fellows. This program recruits underrepresented high school seniors (who maintain a 3.5 GPA) and provides a four year, enriched cohort experience for the Teaching Fellows as they complete degrees and credentials. Teaching Fellows are placed 15 hours per week as teaching assistants in low performing schools.
All Teaching Fellows participate in the Teaching Fellows Academy one Saturday per month to improve skills in literacy for second-language learners, hands-on approaches to teaching, and assets-based youth development. More than 400 students currently participate in this segment of the program.
