Katja Miller "It has been a wonderful experience transitioning from teaching in the Peace Corps to working with GWU supervisors and mentors in American schools. I have received immense support in and out of the classroom and look forward to applying what I have learned in the years to come." -Katja Miller
Stephanie Kaufman "What makes the GW Teaching Corps Fellows program so great is that you can put the techniques you learn in class into practice immediately. More than once I saw something modeled in class in the evening and I thought, "I want to try that tomorrow" and did just that. I also found it very beneficial to be able to bring the real life challenges I faced in the classroom during the day, to my classes in the evening and benefit from everyone's collective thinking." - Stephanie Kaufman
Chanda O'Donnell "A year and a
half ago, when I started this program I had the heart to be a teacher yet I
knew almost nothing about teaching. Now, I feel like a competent
professional; I have the knowledge and skills to do my job with confidence.
And I still have the heart to do it with joy." - Chanda O'Donnell “The Teaching Corps program encourages
graduates to be leaders in schools and in the field of education. As a whole, GW graduates are well-liked and
respected by our peers. We stand out a
little, I think.” – Jacqueline L. Waite “My cooperating teacher and coach were
extremely helpful. I never could have
gotten through my inservice training without them.” – Nicole
Hider “I wasn’t nervous about classroom
management and teaching because I felt that Teachers 2000 prepared me to
enter the classroom with confidence.
We had drafted our philosophies of classroom management and teaching,
and consequently we knew how we wanted our classrooms to run and how we
wanted to teach. All that was left to
do was live the philosophies.” – Jennifer Lloyd
“Thank you all for your help and guidance
through this first semester of teaching.
It has been exciting, overwhelming, stressful and one of the most
amazing experiences of my life.”
–Katie Kelel I joined the G. W. Millenium Fellows program when I
was at a crossroads in my career. I found it was a perfect way to enter
the teaching profession, giving me the background and experience I needed to
start. The professors were top-notch, well-versed in their specialties
and dedicated to forging excellent teachers out of us.
Director of the
Peace Corps Attends GW Peace Corps Fellows/USA Program Reunion Since 1991,
GW’s Peace Corps Fellows Program has prepared over 120 teachers for
secondary schools across disciplines including special education. Over 90
percent of its graduates continue to teach or hold administrative positions
in public schools. This was the first of what will hopefully become many
gatherings where the returned Volunteers celebrate the achievement of the
third Peace Corps goal of bringing their service back home. For more
information about the Teachers 2000 Partnership, graduate studies and
teaching opportunities for Returned Peace Corps Volunteers at GW, please
