I loved the community the cohort built together in our two weeks of training. It made the experience of running your classroom and developing your methods of classroom management easier.

I wish the program had been longer. I wanted more than four weeks with my students and my cohort.
Advice
Be open to criticism and pushes for growth. Everyone present is passionate about the education of high-risk children and want you to preform at your best.

I wish that it had been longer so that I was able to continue my development of teaching.

If you get the opportunity, take it. This will help you grow confident in yourself and in front of students.

Fellow
June - July 2017 • New Orleans, LA
What I liked
I liked the bond that I formed with my co-workers, the care my bosses had for my success, and the positive social change my work could do
What I wish was different
I honestly wouldn't change anything except for offering more locations and hiring more people (esp from Rice) :)
Advice
Just apply! Even if you have no teaching experience, even if you aren't going into teaching at all, just apply. It is amazing work and they make you a good teacher. No experience required, only the desire to do great things.
