Program Requirements

Seminars

Teaching Fellows participate in weekly seminars which are provided to enhance and enrich their academic experience. Seminars focus on issues facing college students, novice teachers, veteran educators, school communities and current trends in education.

Internships

Freshmen and sophomores have experience in schools completing a minimum of 10-15 hours of observation. While completing the internship, Fellows support the classroom teacher, tutor students and on rare occasions teach a lesson. Fellows submit written reflections on the experience and lessons learned at the end of the semester.

Community Service

Teaching Fellows participate in service projects each semester as a group, Hooked on Books and The SMART Tutorial for Literacy and Social Justice. The program collaborates with other organizations and groups within the university and neighboring community. North Carolina A&T requires all students to complete a minimum of 50 hours of service in order to graduate.

Lyceums

Teaching Fellows participate in cultural activities each semester that consist of lectures, concerts, theater performances, spoken word, etc… These campus activities provide an opportunity to broaden their cultural experiences and engage in the university and neighboring community.

Required Summer Activities

Summer experiences are designed by the Teaching Fellows Commission to enhance the campus program and give Fellows insight into the challenges facing them when they enter the public schools of North Carolina. A main goal of summer programs is to provide a setting that fosters and encourages the networking and support systems needed for successful induction into the classroom. The dates for these activities are listed among NC Teaching Fellows important dates. All summer activities are required.

• Discovery is a five-to-seven day trip designed to broaden the Fellows’ understanding of diversity in North Carolina. During this trip around the state by bus, rising sophomores visit educational systems, businesses and cultural activities.
  
• Junior Enrichment Activities range from overseas travel to computer camps, which usually last a week. Teaching Fellows select the activity, which vary in terms of cost. A certain amount is paid out of the Teaching Fellow’s scholarship. Additional costs are paid for by the Teaching Fellow.
• Senior Orientation Week consists of a visit to the schools and central office of a selected school system.
• Conferences are for rising juniors and seniors and focus on cutting edge education issues and professional skills. Outstanding teachers identified by the North Carolina Center for Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT) and Teaching Fellows graduates serve as facilitators who work with small groups of Fellows discussing issues related to the real world of teaching.
