Full Time Fellowship Opportunity: Blueprint

Blueprint Schools Network is looking for Fellows for this coming year!

Blueprint Fellows play an integral role in heightening student achievement in schools across the country.  On a daily basis, Fellows build individualized lessons and plan activities that help to fill in academic gaps students may have to strengthen academic performance inside the classroom.  During the course of the year, Fellows are building strong relationships that help to increase each student’s self-confidence in and commitment to his/her education, helping to foster a positive future for each student.

While teachers have classrooms of 25 or 30 students, Fellows manage no more than 4 students at a time.  This allows for the individualization of remedial and supplemental instruction.  Fellows are charged with focusing on the individual needs of their students, helping to bolster and accelerate student achievement while helping to close any skill gaps that may exist.
