How is the GT Fellowship unique?
In a GT Teaching Fellowship, you are the teacher. From day one, you will greet your students at the classroom door and welcome them to your class. You will teach academic and enrichment classes.
Your leaders will support you. Your experience will shape your career goals, introduce you to the rigors of a teaching career, and connect you with peers and mentors who will inspire you for a lifetime.
