assume the professional independence and responsibility of a KO faculty member. They join all
newly hired faculty in year-long new teacher programming, including August orientation and
monthly professional learning workshops. Year One Fellows also practice their craft through
involvement in co-curricular activities, including athletics, where, with the help of seasoned faculty
and coaches, they learn to engage groups of students and successfully build toward long-term goals.
Fellowship Year Two: Expand and Lead
Year Two Fellows expand their professional growth as members of our independent school
community through enhanced teaching and learning opportunities. They step into the role of lead
teacher for two to three class sections, supported by targeted professional learning in instructional
design, assessment practices, and differentiation. They build on established relationships with
students through co-curricular coaching and advising. Additionally, Year Two Fellows have the
option to rotate through project-based professional experiences across the school to gain insight
into multifaceted independent school roles outside of traditional teaching, advising, and coaching.
Rotations are co-selected by the Fellow and the rotation lead, based on interest and skill match, and
include opportunities to engage in projects in areas such as academic planning, admissions, alumni
relations, athletics management, college counseling, communications/marketing, facilities
management, finance/institutional advancement, and student wellness.
Duties will be determined in discussion with the Department Chair, the Director of Athletics, and
the Division Head. Housing will be included in the compensation package.
