Our student teachers are university and high school students, ages 16 to 22, recruited from around the world. They are creative, enthusiastic, and motivated individuals, bringing a diverse set of talents and experiences to the organization. Common to all student teachers is a desire to help young people and a commitment to both teaching and learning.
Student teachers are responsible for curriculum development, teaching, and student evaluation. Student teachers are trained for two weeks prior to meeting the students and guided by former Summerbridge and professional teachers to design and implement lessons that create a rigorous and rewarding learning environment. At the same time, student teachers become positive role models to the younger students, by sharing their passion and inspiring a love of learning.
