Preparing for the program
Teachers apply, join and connect with their team. They get trained and equipped for their role as Fellows.
SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS
When teachers have opportunities to grow, great things happen
Our Fellowships enable teachers to make an impact in another context during their summer break
- We run 3-4 week Fellowship programs in January, June, July and August.
- Fellows get trained as coaches, lead workshops and support teachers in their classrooms.
- The experience equates to 100 hours of professional development.
HOW IT WORKS
Fellows work in teams to run workshops and use peer coaching to support teachers in schools
During the Fellowship
Fellows are supported to co-lead workshops and support teachers in schools through peer coaching.
Beyond their Fellowship
Having a network of passionate educators, teachers return to school energized with a new set of skills.
IMPACT ON FELLOWS
Fellows grow as educators and come back to school energized and able to make a greater contribution
Fellows develop as teachers
In planning for and running workshops, fellows engage with and master powerful techniques and become better teachers in their own classrooms.
Fellows grow as leaders
Through training and work in schools, Fellows get to grips with coaching frameworks and build transferable skills that they can at their own schools.

You can choose how may of your teachers you support and the level of subsidy you offer them — 10% or 100% it’s up to you.
2. Promote the opportunity
Our team will help you share the Fellowship opportunity with your teaching staff. We’ll send you a template email and some brochures you can use to share the opportunity.
3. We take care of the rest
We interview each applicant and once they are onboard we’ll introduce them to their team, and they’ll get an engaging series of training sessions before their Fellowship in the summer.

Can we create a school link?
Yes, there are opportunities to build longstanding links with schools and having members of your staff spend time, supporting teachers on a school in person is a great way to establish a link.
Can several of our staff join the same Fellowship?
Yes, it is common for multiple teachers from one school to join the same Fellowship. However, if you would prefer your staff would prefer they can also join separate programs in locations of their choice.
