Stanley British Primary School has a long history and commitment to teacher preparation. Over 500 teachers have spent a year at Stanley learning to teach in the British Primary Way. The second sentence of our school’s mission statement reads: We prepare teachers to implement our vision, mission and values and we share our educational approach with the larger community. If you're interested in learning to teach in a progressive British Primary way, we have two options - The Stanley Fellows Program or The Public Education and Business Coalition Teacher Residency Program.

The Stanley Fellows Program is run entirely within Stanley British Primary School. Fellows work 4.5 days in the classroom and have a mentor teacher. The fellows come together once a week with an experienced British Primary teacher to reflect upon and discuss their time in the classroom and focus on key concepts, such as building a community, supporting learners to behave positively in a community, and writing lesson plans. Fellows receive support from their classroom teacher, Division Head and Head of British Primary Professional Learning to feel successful in their first year teaching at Stanley, and then to take what they have learned to continue their teaching career at Stanley or at other schools across the globe. Interested applicants should send a resume and cover letter to Joanna Hambidge, Head of Professional Learning, at joanna.hambidge@stanleybps.org.

The second option is to be a resident in The Public Education and Business Coalition Teacher Residency Program. Residents work in the classroom four days a week and have a Stanley mentor teacher. They engage in coursework with the Public Education and Business Coalition one day a week and complete several assignments, such as a child study and a unit plan. They have a PEBC advisor and at the end of the year receive their Colorado Teaching License. If accepted into the PEBC program, residents have the opportunity to use their coursework to get credit towards several different Masters Programs.
