While teaching at Eagle Rock, fellows participate in an alternative licensure program accredited through the Colorado Department of Education, and receive their teaching certification after completing the 10-month program. Fellows start the year co teaching in the classroom full time, alongside Eagle Rock instructional specialists. The teaching pairs design and deliver unique curriculum based on student and staff interests and skillsets, as well as anti-racist, abolitionist teaching strategies. Fellows take on additional responsibilities as the year progresses; in their final trimester, many fellows co teach with other fellows. Fellows participate in weekly learning seminars and complete assignments independently, and engage in all residential and community components of Eagle Rock, working some evenings and weekend days. Fellows also support the work of our Professional Development Center, connecting with educational initiatives and networks across the country.

Fellows design and deliver curriculum starting in their first trimester. They will instantly implement teaching strategies they learn in their weekly learning seimars. Fellows coteach one or two courses at a time throughout the year.
