Candidates would be immersed in our elementary and PreK-8 schools working as tutors, covering classes and duties when needed, or providing instruction in the virtual learning environment. Each NextGen Educator will be matched with an Anchor Teacher who will provide valuable guidance for their NextGen educators. Once the Anchor Teacher, in collaboration with Human Capital and the University, feels that the NextGen Educator is ready to be on their own, the school principal can determine how best to utilize their NextGen educators. Just a few of the ways they can be helpful include: leading small group instruction under supervision, assisting with developing lesson plans, facilitating the use of new technologies to support online learning, providing personalized support for students. /p h3PART II - MINIMUM KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES /h3 pbA.
