The Leadership Development Journey for Fellows

At Teach for India, Fellows will work towards the three commitments of leading self, leading others and leading India. Their goals through the Fellowship will be linked to these commintments. Fellow Assessments at the end of each year will measure Fellow progress to goals and give them opportunities to showcase their learning and growth. A Fellow Portfolio will enable Fellows to house monthly/quarterly reflections & artefacts in one place along with notes from their leadership development conversations with their Program Managers

Fellows will will have a clearly articulated two-year Journey and will learn through a Fellow Curriculum. The Fellow Curriculum is a scope and sequence of learning that is broken into three modules: Leading Self, Leading Others and Leading India. This scope and sequence is divided across 5 stages in the Fellowship. These are Institute, Y1 Part 1 & 2, Y2 Part 1 & 2.

The Leadership in Teaching rubric is a tool that brings the 8 C's alive through actions that teachers and leaders repeatedly do. Excellent teachers and leaders build environments that foster learning and growth.

The five pillars and 25 strands of the Leadership in Teaching rubric are connected to each topic in the Fellow scope and sequence as outcomes of spaces and experiences. This sets them up to contribute in the most effective manner towards an India free of poverty, filled with love, and the "one day" that we envision for all children.

They connect deeply with themselves, their context, and the communities that they serve.

They immerse themselves in the lived experiences of their people and together envision bold possibilities.

They plan effectively to meet this vision.

They build a culture that promotes safety and love, and execute in ways that drive for outcomes.

They consistently reflect on their outcomes as well as the leadership they display every day.

The Fellow Curriculum and the Leadership in Teaching rubric are built through our Fellow Ecosystem of Support. This consists of a variety of opportunities and experiences to grow Fellows as strong teachers and leaders. Our Fellow Ecosystem of Support will include:

1. Exploring my Identity within the System

This module has been adapted from a section of Elena Aguilar's The Onward Book. Through this module, you will notice and reflect on your sociopoitical identities, how the intersectionalities of these muliple identities play out in your interactions with people, and what this means for the relationships that you will build with your people. LIT Focus: Proficient on Connect 3: I reflect on my biases and their impact on my relationships.
2. Becoming conscious of my biases

As you begin to step into communities and interact with multiple different people, you will reflect on the biases you hold, begin to explore where they stem from, and the impact that they have on your relationships. You will begin to engage in experiences that help you deconstruct these biases and explore different ways of thinking. Through their beginning interactions with a variety of individuals, you will begin to encounter ideas and perspectives that are different from your own. You will learn that the opposite of your stories can be as true as your own, and you will learn to respect diversity and difference. LIT Focus: Proficient on Connect 3: I reflect on my biases and their impact on my relationships.
3. Managing my energy and my time

In your first few months of the Fellowship, you will learn how to manage your energy and your time. With all the multiple things you will have to do, you will learn how to plan to complete tasks, prioritize and maximize your time. You will also begin to notice what gives you energy, what drains energy and find ways to ensure that you are adopting habits that will help you sustain yourself. LIT Focus: Proficient on Reflect 1: I am conscious of my emotions and how my states of being are impacting my work.
4. Reflecting on my leadership

As an ongoing component of this module, you will reflect on your growth as leaders as you navigate through challenging situations to pursue transformational growth with your students. You will examine the connection between your growth and the impact you are able to create. LIT Focus: Proficient on Reflect 3: I am conscious of the connection between outcomes and my leadership.
