PIPELINES
High School
While in high school students gain access to college-level professional development, a college mentor, the opportunity to take and pass the paraprofessional exam, and start their journey as a Teaching Fellow! We work with district CTE, ROP, and expanded learning programs to provide additional resources to the students in the pathways. We believe that working together will ensure the best results for our K-12 pupils.
High School
Undergraduate
Teaching Fellows receive hands-on experience, professional and personal development, and flexible schedules that meet their needs as they work towards their college degree. Teaching Fellows have the option to work morning, afternoon, and summer.
While enrolled in college, Teaching Fellows have access to paid professional development, free life coaching, financial coaching, career coaching, paid job placement in local schools, and the opportunity to make a difference daily in the lives of youth. CTFF, K-12 schools and local institutions of higher education all work together to best align class schedules, professional development and meaningful job placement.
Credential and Residency
As Teaching Fellows graduate, CTFF provides offramps into teacher residencies and/or teacher credential programs that best meet your their needs. CTFF provides support to Teaching Fellows as they transition from undergraduate into credential programs such as: application assistance, test preparation sessions, scholarships, and direct connections to the residencies or credential programs that best meet Teaching Fellows’ needs. Many credential and residency programs provide students financial stipends, school site placements, mentor teachers, ongoing professional development, and in many cases preferential hiring upon completion of the program. CTFF is invested in helping build the next generation of great future teachers and leaders.
