Teaching Corps Fellows
(TCF)

The Teaching
Corps Fellows program is a unique opportunity for enthusiastic returned Peace
Corps, AmeriCorps, Teach for America
volunteers, and individuals with two or more years of teaching experience to
hone their teaching skills and earn Maryland state
licensure. The Teaching Corps Fellows
(TCFs) begin a full-time commitment to the program in mid-January. This involves both a day and evening time
commitment. During the day TCFs are
placed as full-time interns in MCPS middle and high schools and attend GW classes
several evenings a week. They are
assigned to cooperating teachers in Montgomery County Public Schools in order
to fulfill a formal ten-week internship requirement (five weeks in a high
school and five weeks in a middle school).
When the TCF has completed the internship satisfactorily, she/he works
as a substitute teacher in schools across Montgomery County through
June. Clinical supervision is provided
by University staff during this pre-service phase of the program. Similar to Millennium Teaching Fellows,
TCFs are then employed as Teaching Fellows in the fall and continue to
receive University support through weekly coaching, bi-weekly observations,
and seminar classes. The coursework
required for certification is completed during the first year of full-time
teaching so TCFs are fully certified to teach in MCPS the following year.
