IAPA 0020 Lead Teaching Fellow, National Education Opportunity Network (NEON)

Job Description:

Brown University and the National Education Opportunity Network (NEON) are partnering to offer Brown University college courses to eligible high schools across the country. With your help and support, students from our nation’s most underserved communities can gain access to a rigorous college course and have the opportunity to earn academic college credit while in high school. As a Brown University and NEON Teaching Fellow, you will hold weekly office hours, grade student work, drive student success, and be part of a national community working to advance education equity.

A Lead Teaching Fellow is typically an advanced undergraduate or graduate student who teaches in areas in which they have developing expertise from the course structure designed by the faculty instructor. The Lead Teaching Fellow is required to, meet weekly with faculty instructor and other teaching fellows, hold weekly online office hours. In addition, the Lead Teaching Fellow will have elevated responsibilities including surveying the TF team on a weekly basis and disseminating the results to the instructor. In addition, the Lead TF will be responsible for other administrative duties. For example, maintaining a communication channel with other TFs to quickly answer questions and/or troubleshoot any teaching or grading issues that may surface; coordinating grades across TFs and ensuring that all supplemental materials for co-teachers and students are maintained and up to date.

Teaching Fellows may attend the live sessions that are led by a representative from NEON and a faculty instructor. In addition, they may be asked to provide additional support to the instructor and the students in ways that increase – in quality and quantity – student contact with content experts and, in this way, supports student learning.

While a Teaching Fellow should be viewed by students as an instructional resource, they are not responsible for creating a syllabus, designing and delivering course content independent of the instructor, or creating individual class modules and lecturers.

All offers of employment are contingent upon successful completion of a background check.
