Job Description Teaching Fellows KIPP MA Teaching Fellows are co-teachers who are committed to becoming proficient in the craft of teaching through professional development, coaching, and hands-on practice. Candidates for our KIPP MA Teaching Fellows program typically enter the profession with fewer years of teaching experience than Lead Teachers, and so Teaching Fellows spend each day teaching and learning alongside an experienced Lead Teacher with the goal of becoming a KIPP MA Lead Teacher after a year of intensive development. We are excited to welcome Elementary Fellows into our kindergarten through fourth-grade classrooms. Teaching Fellows are an integral part of the classroom from the first days of school. They must form strong and trusting relationships with students and families as they begin their journey with KIPP. Throughout the year, Teaching Fellows co-teach small group and whole group lessons and gradually take on additional solo lead teaching responsibilities.

Teaching Fellows are responsible for all teacher duties outlined below and are given a high level of support to follow through on the responsibilities.
