How Apprenticeships Work
Teach What you Know
Apprenticeships are the centerpiece of Citizen Schools’ strategy to engage middle school students in active learning. Students work alongside Citizen Teachers who share their passion, expertise, and professionalism over a 10-week period. Through apprenticeships students learn the skills necessary for success in the 21st century, including oral presentation, data analysis, technology, leadership, and teamwork.
