• English Teaching Assistant

  • Aug 2014 - Jul 2016

  The English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Programs place Fulbrighters in classrooms abroad to provide assistance to the local English teachers and students. ETA’s help teach English language while serving as cultural ambassadors for the U.S. The age and academic level of the students varies. During the last school year, I assisted in sixth grade classrooms at two elementary schools and a teacher preparation school. I create and implemented my own grammar and conversation lessons at an educational office and two English centers for adults. Show less

Students who are selected for STEP-UP (STEP-UP Fellows) live in Chicago in a partner neighborhood where they participate in a rigorous 4-week program. During the program, Fellows assist in Chicago Public School (CPS) classrooms during summer school, serve as an intern at a community-based organization, complete TEACHER+PLUS related coursework, and participate in other civically engaged activities in the community. The program has a strong focus on the role community plays in education and the ways in which teachers are a part of the greater community effort toward improving the quality of life for all residents.
