Make an Impact
- Empower Students
- TFB Fellows are first and foremost educators who believe that all children are capable of excellence. During the Fellowship, they learn the building blocks of great teaching, and work relentlessly to ensure their students’ learning and growth. They build classrooms that are welcoming and joyful, where all children develop confidence, communication, critical thinking, and socioemotional skills alongside their academics. Their Fellows help students unlock their own leadership potential and discover their ability to create change in the world around them.
- Partner with Communities
- They believe that students and communities are the true leaders of the movement for equity. TFB Fellows work tirelessly to build authentic relationships with students, parents, and other community members. Every year, Fellows support student-led community-service projects to address fundamental challenges such as health and hygiene, student safety, gender equity, waste management, recycling, climate change, etc. Fellows create a positive impact in communities and building student leadership in the process.
- Support Schools
- Fellows are integral members of their school team, reporting to the school head teacher (in addition to their TFB manager), and working alongside other school colleagues. This is a unique opportunity for Fellows to understand schools from the inside out, learn from the veteran teachers, collaborate on school-wide initiatives, and share innovations & best practices with others. Their Fellows cultivate strong school relationships to have a far greater impact as well as learning.
