This summer, we have 11 Fellows hard at work leading our two-week Summer Leadership Institute for rising 10th graders on Emory University’s campus. In the first week, highlights included:
🌳 Visiting West Atlanta Watershed Alliance
🗣️ Participating in mock interviews with a UGA representative and then flipping roles to practice being the interviewer
🕵🏽♀️ Exploring an activity called STEAM 4 Corners
🏫 Touring Augusta University
This week, the Teaching Fellows are helping scholars develop persuasive business pitches in preparation for their annual College Shark Tank competition. Presentations and prize awards take place this Thursday in front of a panel of community leaders.
AmeriCorps Teaching Fellows are undergraduate students majoring in or showing a strong interest in secondary education, school counseling, education policy, or STEAM and are selected each summer for specialized programming to prep them for life as an educator.
