What does this role entail?

ACCEL teaching fellows work with lead teachers to close the achievement gap for all students in the school. Teaching fellows are fully involved in lesson design and execution, gaining deeper understanding of rigorous, relevant instruction to meet a diverse group of students' needs. The teaching fellows' relationships with their mentors also provide an opportunity to develop their relationship building, classroom management, and trauma-informed teaching skills.

In addition to ongoing support from veteran, highly effective teachers, our teaching fellows also receive personalized development and coaching every week. Our teaching fellows program allows educators new to the profession an opportunity to jump-start their careers and forge their paths to lead teaching long term.

ACCEL teaching fellows will collaboratively plan with lead teachers across the campus to design coteaching and parallel teaching lessons. Teaching fellows will then take these lessons live in the classroom, facilitating alongside an experienced educator.
