A Henrico Teacher Fellow is a highly effective classroom teacher who spends a portion of the workday teaching students and a portion working closely with first‑year and provisionally licensed teachers in the designated Opportunity Schools. This new position, created as part of the Career Ladder, will support new and provisionally licensed teachers with lesson design and delivery, student engagement through strong tier‑one instruction, co‑teaching, and day‑to‑day management of professional responsibilities.

The teacher fellow's classroom will serve as a learning lab that models research‑based instructional strategies for new teachers to observe in practice. In addition, Teacher Fellows will support PLCs and professional learning at their assigned schools. This 11‑month position represents a new option for teacher leaders who are seeking unique professional opportunities and responsibilities while continuing to work directly with students in the classroom.

The Teacher Fellow position is part of the Professional Learning and Leadership Department.
