BreakFree Teacher Fellowship

BreakFree Education is excited to announce the renewal of our Teacher Fellowship for a third year. Designed for teachers working inside juvenile justice facilities, our Teacher Fellowship explores the theme of Engage, Empower, Elevate and brings teachers together to foster engagement with other educators, empower student success, and elevate the classroom learning experience.

The Fellowship includes virtual monthly workshops from January through May, 2025 and an in-person, overnight working retreat in mid-June, 2025. Fellows will be paid a $750 stipend as a part of the Fellowship; BreakFree will cover the costs of the overnight retreat.

BreakFree will select 12 teachers who work at schools inside of juvenile justice facilities to participate in the Fellowship.

From January through May, Fellows will participate in five evening virtual workshops to explore purposeful design and planning approaches to lesson building. As part of these workshops, teachers will also develop a short educational initiative (3-10 class periods) that supports students in developing curiosity, practicing skills, and mastering concepts within a core content area. Each initiative will be designed using BreakFree Education’s initiative framework and will include a culminating project.

All applications are due Wednesday November 10, 2024. More information can be found at www.breakfree-ed.org/teacherfellowship.
