We have a three-tiered system for the TEAMS/AmeriCorps Fellowship Program eligibility. All applicants must be within 1 to 5 years of credentialed educating, with the exception of interns and paraprofessionals who are currently completing credentialing coursework.
1st Priority:
Teaching Interns, Paraprofessionals, School Counselors in training who are currently working on their credential.
2nd Priority:
New Teachers, Counselors, Paraprofessionals who have completed their credential and are finishing up their MA coursework.
3rd Priority:
Any New Teachers, Counselors, Paraprofessionals who are taking continuing education coursework, not related to a degree in progress or clearing their credential.
Do not be discouraged if you fall within the third priority. You should continue the application process. Your application will still be considered and we often have space available. As a matter of fact, many of our current Fellows fall into this category! |
