The Pre-Teaching program at Georgia Tech and Breakthrough Atlanta offers Tech students an invaluable opportunity to explore K-12 teaching as a career choice, build leadership skills, and help the community while earning money and internship credit through the Georgia Tech Center for Career Discovery and Development.
Ideal candidates are committed to Breakthrough’s mission of placing students on a 6-year path to go to college by way of academic equity and study-skills based learning. Ideal candidates are motivated, inspired, and have a sense of responsibility to create pathways for those who are denied access to the best educational opportunities due to socio-economic status. No formal teaching experience is required.
Full-time Teaching Fellows positions are available. For a detailed look at a typical day of Breakthrough Teacher, go towww.breakthroughcollaborative.org/teach/day-life.
As an intern, you learn the following:
· effective lesson planning
· instructional strategies and classroom management
· professionalism and communication
· diversity awareness
· development and analysis of measurable objectives
· teaching to multiple modalities
· engaging students
· using technology to teach
· assessment
The internship program is June 4 – August 1, 2014. Interns receive a $1000.00 stipend and qualify for 12 audit credit hours through the Georgia Tech Division of Professional Practice. Interns do not pay tuition or fees for the audit credit hours. Breakthrough Atlanta provides the funding for the internships.
