It’s a lesson-come-to-life at ‘Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia’: a summer camp where students learn to teach and then become the teachers.<\/p>\n

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — For 30 years, Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia has provided academic opportunities for students from traditionally underserved areas of the city.<\/p>\n

This materializes in their annual summer camp held at Germantown Friends School.<\/p>\n

The second component of the camp is to recruit college students who may or may not aspire to be educators. They are enrolled in a multi-week training course to learn how to be teachers, and then are tasked with teaching the kids’ summer camp classes.<\/p>\n

Watch the video above to meet some of the teaching fellows, in addition to the current dean of faculty who was once a teaching fellow himself.<\/p>\n
