The Collegiate School Fellows’ Program is a one- to two-year teaching fellowship that is designed for early-career teachers and career-switchers who plan to pursue a career in education. We welcome applicants interested in teaching any grade level from JK-12 and in coaching Grades 7-12. Qualified candidates must demonstrate a sustained interest in children; possess college- or graduate-level coursework in their subject area and a track record of academic excellence;

and have demonstrable experience in co-curricular areas such as sports and clubs.

The purpose of the Fellows’ Program is to provide aspiring educators with the mentorship, classroom experience, and pedagogical background necessary to become a lead classroom teacher. In keeping with three of the School’s core values–love of learning, excellence, and community–the Program strives to foster and support each fellow’s lifelong journey in the field of education.

The program offers a thorough introduction to a career in education. Fellows receive personalized mentorship, preparation in pedagogy and instructional design, cultural competency training, extensive professional development, and job placement assistance. Upon completion of the fellowship, each fellow will possess the skills necessary to be a lead teacher or qualified candidate in their division or department.

Each year, we hire a small cohort of fellows. Each fellow shares a classroom with a mentor teacher in their department or grade level. All fellows have regular meetings with their mentor, their department- or grade-level chair, the Fellows’ Program Director, the cohort of fellows, and the Dean of Faculty. Fellows also contribute to or participate in School activities such as advisory meetings, clubs, sports, and performances, and they attend relevant School events such as faculty meetings, assemblies, and professional development days.

Fellows engage fully in the life of the School, thereby gaining experience with a school setting and insight into all aspects of a career in education, and they follow the same daily schedule as any classroom teacher in their division

Fellows receive a full-time salary and are eligible for benefits that include health, dental, and vision insurance; life insurance; free daily lunch; classroom supplies and teaching materials; all required texts; professional development support for on-and off-campus opportunities; and additional stipends for coaching and certain extracurricular activities. The program begins in mid-August with a week of new teacher training and another week of meetings for all faculty members, and it ends in early June at the conclusion of the school year.

By the conclusion of the fellowship, participants will have created a professional dossier of job application materials, a body of work for lesson plans, and a career development plan.
