Trinity School is proud to be in partnership with the Day School Teaching Residency (DSTR) Program at the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education. In partnership with eleven other leading day schools, the program seeks to weave together a hands-on teaching experience with coursework in the pedagogical underpinnings of education to foster the development of strong and highly qualified independent school teachers.

While earning their M.S. Ed degree, Fellows spend two years at Trinity learning their craft, gaining experience in the classroom, and developing culturally responsive pedagogies, under the guidance and supervision of their mentors. Throughout the two years, each Fellow is surrounded by a community of Trinity educators that will support the transition from observer to teacher through feedback, evaluation, and observations.

The Fellows Program at Trinity seeks to bring to campus talented scholars and teachers. For the Fall of 2021, we are particularly interested in hiring a Middle School English Fellow and a Middle School History Fellow, but candidates with expertise in any discipline are welcome to apply. We are committed to recruiting outstanding fellows who reflect the ethnic and cultural diversity of our city and to creating pathways that develop highly qualified educators who will go on to be members of the independent school community. Committed to becoming an anti-racist institution in all aspects of our community, Trinity expects its fellows to support equitable classroom culture inclusive of varied student experiences and to possess a strong awareness of how race, gender, class, and other aspects of identity manifest themselves in the classroom.

Fellows will receive a salary that includes subsidized faculty housing, a generous benefits package, an 80% tuition contribution, and professional development.

For the Fall of 2021, to apply, candidates are asked to submit the following:

• cover letter
• resume
• academic transcript(s)
• two letters of recommendation
• list of reference

Note: applications will not be considered until all of the above have been submitted.

An Equal Opportunity Employer, Trinity School seeks candidates who will add to the diversity of its school community. More than this, Trinity is expressly committed to becoming an anti-racist institution and is calling on all members of its community to join in this important work.
