Answers to Frequently Asked Questions Life as a Corps Member

What does Pre-Service training include?

During the summer, all corps members engage with our Pre-Service experience. The aim of this period of time is to develop corps members as teacher leaders and we focus our training on 4 domains: rigorous instruction, classroom learning environment, relationships, and learning. Pre-Service begins with asynchronous onboarding modules, which we term "Launch". It's then followed by about 2 weeks of virtual synchronous Launch Live! and Training, where corps members begin to build pedagogical understanding and skills. During this time, corps members are expected to be fully present virtually. Synchronous sessions are live and range from 6-8 hours per day. From there, corps members teach students at summer school in their region during our Practicum. Supports during Pre-Service include: 1:1 coaching, group coaching, content development, curriculum and planning supports, etc.
