Shad Canada is a registered Canadian charity that empowers exceptional high school students – at a pivotal point in their education – to recognize their own capabilities and explore the extraordinary potential as tomorrow’s leaders and changemakers.
What is a Teacher Fellow?
Teacher Fellows provide their expertise as secondary school educators to the program. They bring their awareness of adolescent behaviour and attitudes to the table and use that awareness to provide input into the decisions that affect Shad program participants. Teacher Fellows play an important role in the creation of a sense of community and provide content to the program that draws from their own areas of expertise and interests. Their experience as an educator allows them to advocate for the needs of participants, be watchful for points of conflict (i.e.bullying or risky behaviour) and provide support when difficult issues arise. The Teacher Fellow position provides a great opportunity for a secondary educator who is passionate about community building and developing high potential youth.
