Citizen Teacher Training To ensure the highest quality experience for every Citizen Teacher, our staff dedicates time and resources to the training, preparation, and support of our volunteers. In return, we ask our volunteers to commit their energy, attention, passion, and amazing ideas to their training and preparation process, which includes attendance at the following training sessions. Citizen Schools Online Information Session The Citizen Schools Online Information Session, narrated by co-founder Ned Rimer, presents the core of our mission: what we are trying to achieve and why after-school time is so important. You'll learn how our program model works, what apprenticeships and WOW!s are, how adults can make a difference in the lives of children and why volunteers like you are vital to re-imagining education in America.Apprenticeships: The Big Picture - 180 minutes At this in-person session, you'll meet other Citizen Teachers and campus staff in a brief but intensive boot camp that will set the scene for the semester to come. You'll come to understand the "learning-by-doing" theory that is the basis for apprenticeships, gain insight into the specific developmental needs of urban middle-school learners, and learn an extensive set of tools for designing activities and lessons plans that will help get a group of adolescents toward a high-quality WOW! experience. Your Apprenticeship, One-on-One - 60 Minutes This session focuses on developing your individual apprenticeship. Working with the Team Leader who will be your coach in the classroom, you'll map out a ten-week WOW! plan, develop the first lesson, brainstorm engaging activities to cater to different learning styles, and snswer lingering questions from Apprenticeships: The Big Picture.Campus Orientation - 60 Minutes This is your chance to tour the school where you'll be leading your apprenticeship, and absorb the culture that Citizen Schools fosters there. You'll also finalize Lessons One and Two, review your WOW! plan, and build a foundation of teamwork with your Team Leader, the rest of the Citizen Schools staff, and the family of Citizen Teachers at your campus.
