Interested in helping Dartmouth students succeed in their courses? Ready to exercise your teaching muscles and help professors build and implement their courses? Ready to become a Dartmouth Learning Fellow?

This term, we had 18 Learning Fellows at Dartmouth, each bringing their unique talents to our program.  They helped students dissect readings in the classroom, solve complex problems, and build a community around their learning. They helped professors pick out activities and write lesson plans. They trained for handling the tough situations, like advising students struggling with course material. They made a difference to the way we teach and learn at Dartmouth.

If you’d like to become a Dartmouth Learning Fellow, now is the time. We’re expanding our program and looking for 30 talented Dartmouth undergraduates to work as Learning Fellows during the winter term. You can apply now to become a Learning Fellow in one of our winter courses: BIOL 13, CLST 10, ENGL 29, ENGL 52, ENGL 62, LATIN 1, PHYS 13, or SOCY 2. If you have special interest in working with community organizations, we also have openings for Social Impact Learning Fellows in some of our service & learning courses, like ANTH 32.

Learning Fellows work for 6-10 hours a week, and they are paid ($12/hr) for their time and talent. They meet in weekly teaching huddles to improve their teaching skills and stay on top of course material. To apply for the program, you need to meet only two requirements. You must have 1) already completed the course or a similar course and 2) received a B or above grade average in the course. First-year students and first-time teachers are welcome to apply; this could be the job that starts your career in education!
