Teaching Fellows

The Next Generation of Master Teachers

Teaching fellows are an integral part of our Lower School. They work closely with lead teachers to serve the unique needs of each student and deliver an enriched educational experience. The Teaching Fellowship program is a nurturing mentorship experience that trains a new generation of great teachers. It's rich with opportunities for professional development and guidance from more experienced faculty. The Teaching Fellowship program gives educators a chance to gain experience in classroom management, effective communication, best practices in literacy and math instruction, and forward-thinking teaching philosophies.


 

Who is a Trinity Teaching Fellow?

Fellows vary in experience and range from first-year teachers to veteran educators. They don't always have a degree in education, but they all have a passion for teaching and mentoring young students. They've taught literacy, math, art and special-education in different types of schools (e.g. independent, charter and public).

Opportunities to Teach and to Learn

Teaching fellows have an opportunity to be in self-contained classrooms (K–1) or semi-departmentalized classrooms (2–4). Fellows may also gain experience outside of the classroom working in our After the Bell (ATB) childcare and enrichment program, coaching a sport, designing the yearbook, or leading a summer camp.
