Student Assistant Teachers (SAT)

The Student Assistant Teachers (SAT) program provides seniors (and some juniors) the opportunity to work with 9th and 10th-grade students in Friends School classrooms. Friends School teachers serve as cooperating teachers. SATs meet regularly with their cooperating teacher to plan lessons, discuss class, and reflect on group progress. They plan lessons, offer individual feedback to younger students, and help model excellent scholarship and classroom participation. SATs also meet regularly with other Student Assistant Teachers and they keep ongoing journals to reflect on their learning and progress. Students must apply to become Student Assistant Teachers. Spots are limited by the number of teachers participating in the program, and students are selected based on their applications, written statements, and recommendations from other teachers. Students receive grades and are awarded one major academic credit for their participation.
