Teacher Fellowship Program 2023–24 @ Intuit
For 30+ years, Intuit has provided award-winning professional development to Chicago educators through its Teacher Fellowship Program. Throughout the school year, Intuit leads five Saturday training sessions to inform and support a cohort of teachers as they create interdisciplinary lesson plans inspired by outsider and self-taught artists. Training sessions include academic lectures, artist-led workshops, tours of outsider and self-taught art collections, work time, and field trips to museums. Teacher Fellows will serve as an advisory council for Intuit as the museum develops resources (e.g., videos, virtual field trips, materials, etc.) for students.
Through these sessions, Teacher Fellows form a community of educators engaged in building their teaching practice with colleagues from across the city and exploring ways to integrate outsider and self-taught art in their lessons. Teacher Fellows will directly impact and contribute to the creative direction of educational resources at Intuit.
Benefits of participation include 25 CPDUs, a $500 stipend, access to the Robert A. Roth Study Center and more!
The program is open to Chicago Public School educators from all disciplines! Intuit recommends teachers apply in teams of two from the same school. Eligibility requirements and professional development dates are shared on the program's web page in addition to the application for the 2023–24 program cycle.
