Fellows Program

The Whitefield Academy Fellows Program 
The Fellows program provides an immersive Christian school experience at Whitefield Academy for college graduates considering teaching as a career. Fellows are provided guidance, training, and experience in teaching and are treated as colleagues within their departments as they teach in real-life classroom settings. Within the scope of the program, the Fellow collaborates with a mentor teacher at Whitefield Academy in the planning and execution of lessons. Over the course of the year, in a scaffolded approach, the Fellow will assume increasing teaching responsibilities under the mentor teacher’s guidance and direction.

In addition, Fellows participate in regular professional development and support the community in a variety of ways in and outside of the classroom to fully engage as members of the Whitefield Academy community, learning about a variety of school experiences. Applications for Fellow positions are reviewed for all academic departments. Upon completion of the program, Whitefield Academy seeks to support Fellows in finding full-time placement in faculty positions at Whitefield Academy or other schools.
