Position Description Teacher Apprentices observe and learn from classroom teachers. They will co‑teach in the classroom, support teachers with tutoring, grading, and individual or small group student instruction, and provide substitute coverage for teachers. Depending on school needs and prior experience, apprentices may also teach their own class of students, allowing for direct teaching experience within a more limited teaching load.

Apprentices also offer teacher support with a variety of work inside and outside the classroom, including teaching enrichment classes, organizing student events, and developing mentoring relationships with students. Through summer and school‑year professional development and regular meetings with an instructional coach, apprentices gain experience and develop teaching skills. This is a one‑year role with the option to renew for an additional year based on performance.

The goal for all Apprentices is to become a classroom teacher within 1‑2 years after learning by doing what it means to be a teacher at Inwood Academy.
