Teaching Apprentice, M.Ed. Student

The Teaching Apprentice Program (TAP) is a collaborative Masters in Education Program between Berwick Academy and Lesley University that is designed for highly motivated adults who want to learn and practice successful teaching skills by immersing themselves in a full-time teaching apprenticeship program.

We believe that true learning and growth occur while working alongside seasoned and dedicated mentor teachers. Our apprentices receive individualized guidance, support, and feedback from their mentor teacher, the on-site program director, and one another during their time on Berwick's hilltop.
 

During the first summer, the apprentices build a solid foundation in education theories by enrolling in four graduate courses. In late August, they join the Berwick Academy faculty and begin applying their knowledge through supervised teaching and seminar discussions. During the year, apprentices actively participate in the Berwick community: developing curriculum, teaching lessons, participating in parent-teacher conferences, and joining in additional school enrichment activities of their interests, such as coaching. At Berwick Academy, apprentices are valued and contributing members of the school community.
 

The TAP program is open to individuals who are intellectually curious and passionate about teaching. Prior experience working with students is preferred, but not required. We encourage people of varying ages, experiences, and backgrounds to apply.

* Note: This is an unpaid degree program with tuition. We are seeking applicants who have the following qualifications:

• Completion of a B.S. or B.A. with a GPA of 3.0 or higher
• A keen commitment to becoming a teacher
• A focused and diligent work ethic
