Teaching Fellows Program

List of 4 items.

• ABOUT THE PROGRAM

  The St. Andrew’s Teaching Fellows Program is a one-year teaching experience that places teaching fellows in classrooms, ranging from kindergarten to grade twelve. In addition to teaching with their mentor teachers, the teaching fellows are able to gain a well-rounded experience through participating in family-teacher conferences, classroom observations, field experiences, and professional development opportunities. In every way, teaching fellows are considered an integral part of the faculty of St. Andrew’s School and are expected to participate fully in the life of the school and after-school program.

• WHAT TO EXPECT

  Teaching Fellows would have official responsibilities each day generally from 7:30 am - 4:00 pm five days per week, and a seminar once per month during the academic year from early August through early June. Standard duties would include partnership and collaboration with the mentor teacher, grade-level specific teaching and observational tasks, student support and supervision, and professional development opportunities. St. Andrew’s Teaching Fellows are appointed to a one-year position. In some circumstances, a fellow may be offered a teaching contract or given the opportunity to apply for subsequent years depending on the availability of positions suitable to that candidate’s skill sets, interests, and aptitudes.
