Apply to become an A+ Fellow
A+ Schools is accepting applications for new A+ Fellows. A+ Fellows serve as facilitators of professional development for A+ schools and partner organizations. The application process is open through January 12, 2026. In March, we’ll conduct an evaluative selection process during a required two-day training session. Selected candidates will complete a one-year paid apprenticeship.
Please read Characteristics of A+ Fellows and Becoming an A+ Fellow for details, qualifications, and a timeline of the application process. We recommend that interested candidates attend an online information session to learn more about the work of A+ Fellows and the selection process. We’ll hold these sessions on the following dates:
- Saturday, December 6, 2025, from 10 a.m. to noon
- Wednesday, December 10, 2025, from 5 to 7 p.m.
Please contact Jennifer Huggins, A+ Schools program coordinator, for more information or to begin the application process by registering for an information session.

About A+ Fellows
A+ Fellows are leaders in arts and education who conduct high-quality professional development for A+ schools and partner organizations. Our current cadre of Fellows comprises practicing classroom teachers, arts and special-area teachers, administrators, artists, and writers. Together, they bring varied perspectives as teaching artists, school-based educators and administrators, district-level leaders, and higher education faculty.
A+ Fellows enter the network as apprentices (potential Fellows) with a wide range of expertise and experience. We ask them to serve in this “cognitive apprenticeship” role for one year, observing and assisting veteran Fellows as they conduct professional development. During this first year, Apprentice Fellows consider how their strengths might be used and what areas they need to develop. A+ Fellows are then assigned to work on teams that allow them to use their expertise.
