01
The situation
The organization needed qualified lead teachers and wanted to grow them from its own assistant teachers instead of hiring from outside.
02
What I changed
- Designed a structured fellowship: facilitated sessions, participant workbooks, and field experience.
- Wrote a stipend agreement that protected the organization’s investment in each fellow.
- Led the sessions and field experience across two cohorts.
- Briefed funders on the fellowship and its progress.
03
Outcome
The organization had a working, repeatable path from assistant teacher toward lead teacher. It ran for two cohorts, and funders were kept informed along the way.
Completed in an in-house leadership role. The organization is described by type to protect its privacy.
