The teaching fellows act as young ambassadors, strengthening the ties between Athens College and the English-speaking world. Teaching Fellows undertake a wide variety of projects with students, teachers, coaches, counselors and administrators. Each fellow is responsible for designing his or her own schedule. Fellows are able to construct flexible programs that best compliment their individual strengths and interests. Prefects may last anywhere from one week or one month to one year.
Fellows have the opportunity to teach in supervised classrooms and on their own.
The program also encourages fellows to involve themselves outside of the English classrooms. The Fellowship Program is looking for individuals with a wide spectrum of personal strengths. The self-structured nature of the program requires applicants to be highly motivated and independent. Applicants should be capable of working on several projects at once. While prior teaching experience is not required, past endeavors should reflect a desire to work with children.
