The Fellowship Experience

The Excel Academy Teaching Fellowship is an intensive teacher development program for the duration of one school year.  Through structured classroom experience guided by an experienced mentor, observation, and coaching you will develop the skills and mindset to design rigorous and inclusive instruction and become a successful lead classroom teacher.

Mentorship and Professional Development

As an Excel Academy Teaching Fellow, you will be coached and mentored by an experienced teacher who will support your professional growth over the course of the year. You will become part of a diverse cohort of aspiring educators. Together you will participate in weekly professional development sessions with topics including rigorous classroom instruction, classroom management, data-driven instruction, and equity and inclusion.

Opportunity for Growth

During your Teaching Fellow year, you will have the option to apply for a lead teaching position at Excel Academy for the following school year, and as a current Excel academy employee, you will be guaranteed an interview. High-performing fellows may be asked to take on a parental leave coverage assignment. For the duration of that coverage, compensation will be increased to a full teacher salary.
