For college students considering the profession, there’s no substitute for hands-on experience. And for administrators looking to find dedicated new talent, it’s more important than ever that they proactively offer opportunities for college students to get a feel for teaching. This commitment to engaging would-be teachers has been a major factor in driving recruiting success at Roxbury Prep. Our summer teaching fellowship, a five-week program, offers real-life classroom experience to rising college seniors. The program has been in place since 2016 and has been a major source for filling our teacher pipeline. This past summer was particularly gratifying as three of Roxbury Prep’s alumni came back as teaching fellows with the goal of securing a full-time position in the place that gave them their educational foundation.
