STEM Inquiry Fellows in the Urban Teaching Apprenticeship Program

The Weiss Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellows will experience a 10-month teaching apprenticeship that provides authentic experiences learning to teach at the side of experienced classroom mentors. Apprentices in this program designed by Penn GSE, Penn Engineering, and Penn’s School of Arts and Science enact practices that support student-centered, active learning and position learners in urban contexts as capable, curious, and creative.

Prospective teachers leave our program prepared to use the power of teaching to deepen student learning, transform schools, increase educational equity and move into leadership roles. Our program is guided by a commitment to diversity and equity; to use inquiry to examine the forces that shape contexts for teaching and learning; and a focus on practice and partnership in preparing to teach in urban schools and communities.
