  • TFA Academic School Leader Fellowship Application

  • Teach For America's Academic School Leadership Fellowship (ASLF) will develop your instructional leadership skills and support you as you explore school leadership pathways.

    The Fellowship experience consists of three core components:

    1. Cohort Development and Community: You will join a community of individuals committed to learning and growing together over the course of the academic year through monthly cohort based sessions focused on deepening your knowledge, skill, and confidence in advancing educational excellence through high-quality instruction.
    2. Teacher Development: You will be trained to lead data meetings and use the "See It, Name It, Do It" model of instructional coaching - and will be supported by TFA staff along the way.
    3. Career Support and Development: You will receive career coaching from TFA staff, be matched with an education leader to learn from, and get the chance to build your network as you reflect on and plan for your career trajectory.

    Upon successful completion of the Fellowship, Teach for America will support your continued development and career trajectory via special access to ongoing local and national development opportunities and ongoing career support.

    The Fellowship is for you if you...

    • are currently or want to be an instructional leader
    • love seeing others succeed and will do what it takes to help them grow
    • are hungry to learn and grow yourself via feedback, connections, reflection, and content learning
    • can make a school-year-long commitment to Fellowship sessions, coaching, and related programming

  • Do you see yourself seeking a new role or professional opportunity for the 27-28 school year (after the cohort 7 fellowship)?*

  • A core part of ASLF is developing your skill as an instructional coach: learning coaching methods in sessions, applying what you learn, and getting feedback on your coaching from TFA staff. We have found that ASLFellows can most easily apply their learning through coaching one or more teachers in their building, however some ASLFellows do not have that opportunity and need TFA's network to find coaching opportunities.

  • Will you be coaching or have the opportunity to coach someone in your building next year (SY26-27)?*

  • This fellowship requires attendance at monthly professional development sessions, submission of artifacts and deliverables, and up to 4 regional in-person events.
