Job Title: Literacy Instructional Fellow, Summer Cultural Enrichment Program (SCEP)
SUMMARY
EOYDC’s mission is to nurture the holistic development of youth from kindergarten into adulthood so that they can live a life of prosperity, integrity, and purpose.
EOYDC’s Summer Cultural Enrichment Program (SCEP) serves students grades K-5. As the earliest part of our Education Continuum, our K-8 programming emphasizes exploration of, and exposure to, ideas and information for our elementary school students, as well as increasing the level of critical thinking, awareness, and understanding of our middle school students.
SCEP Instructional Fellows are leadership roles that provide aspiring educators an opportunity to enhance their teaching skills and gain more experience serving youth. This fellowship is designed for fellows to learn best practices for working with and instructing designated age-groups. Further, this program helps fellows establish their career plans post-fellowship, while also gaining the experience and skill sets required to be successful in future direct-service opportunities with young people. Ultimately, the goal of this program is to provide young adults who are heavily considering a career in ECE, elementary school teaching, and/or youth development to gain the skills and experience needed to be attractive to future employers in the education/youth-serving sector.
Participants of this fellowship can expect to learn the following:
● Literacy instruction for K-5 students
● Culturally-sustaining/asset-based pedagogical approaches
● Trauma-informed, healing-centered
● Cognitive development
● Curriculum development and lesson planning
● Classroom management
● Efficient supply prep and ordering processes
Additionally, Instructional Fellows are in charge of creating a six-week curriculum for their designated class. This curriculum, and the lesson plans contained within it, will be developed based on training. Class material should vary based on the age group. Furthermore, we expect Instructional Fellows to provide guidance in meetings to help the growth of the overall program and provide guidance to interns supporting their classes. Instructional Fellows are also responsible for setting the tone for much of the kids’ experience in the program, so setting a positive example is of the utmost importance.To provide opportunities for future educators at varying levels of experience, this fellowship will offer two different levels of fellowship:
● Junior Fellows
○ These fellows have had at least one (1) year of experience working directly
with young people in a formal setting prior to this fellowship

In addition to training requirements, all fellows will have the following expectations/responsibilities:
