Teaching Fellow

04/18/19

The Oxbow Teaching Fellow is a one-year position for recent college graduates interested in pursuing a career in teaching or working with adolescents in a residential environment. The Teaching Fellow’s principal responsibilities lie in two areas: program and residential life. On the program side, the Teaching Fellow works closely with an art or academic faculty mentor and builds toward designing and leading a project. Residentially, the Teaching Fellow lives in the dorms to assist the Dorm Heads in organizing community life activities and being an additional adult presence on campus for student life issues that may arise. The person who best fits this role is someone who is mature, has strong interpersonal skills, is genuinely invested in the welfare of adolescents, and possesses an infectious enthusiasm for the Oxbow School program. Further, this person will engage and model Oxbow’s learner expectations: creative and critical inquiry, effective communication, self-empowered learning, a collaborative mindset, and responsible citizenship.

Oxbow School is one of the preeminent choices for creative high school students interested in the arts. Their project-based, integrated approach to learning mirrors the approach of many top art schools. At California College of the Arts, we are thrilled to see applicants who have attended Oxbow because we know they are well prepared for the rigors of college level work. I wish there had been an Oxbow School when I was a high school student!

— Stephen Beal, President, California College of the Arts

The Oxbow School has both a local and national reputation for excellence. Oxbow produces great artists. In its studio, these emerging artists have a community of creative peers who respect one another and foster an expectation to produce thoughtful, sophisticated work.

— Paul Coffey, Vice Provost and Dean of Community Engagement, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago

I learned to drop all previous assumptions I had about people because I had never met anyone like the other students at Oxbow. For the first time, my peers and their insightful thinking inspired me. For example, during the ‘Einstein’s Dreams’ presentations, I kept looking around the room thinking, I can’t believe all of these students are talking the way I think.
