Teach For Qatar’s Leadership Journey is a two year, full time training program that starts with an intensive 7 week Summer Institute and continues with ongoing training and support for the duration of the journey. The Summer Institute is a rigorous training program that includes theoretical and practical teacher training. Additionally, it is during Summer Institute that Fellows form a relationship with their individual Training Specialists who will guide them through their Leadership Journey.

Teach For Qatar also provides Fellows with ongoing training through monthly Professional Development Days, Learning Circles and other forms of activities to continue to enhance their skills and address any needs Fellows outline throughout their Journey.

Following successful completion of the Summer Institute, the upcoming cohort will be placed in schools to begin teaching in September 2025, graduating in May 2027. In order to be placed in a school and begin your Leadership Journey as a Fellow you are required to successfully complete the 7-week Summer Institute.

Failure to successfully graduate from this intensive 7-week program which includes real classroom teaching, in-depth sessions and subject specific assessment, means that you will not be ready yet to begin teaching in September 2025 and therefore will be removed from the program. We welcome candidates to apply again.

It is important to note that the Leadership Journey is a full time 2-year commitment, after which we encourage and support you to continue in education as part of our Alumni community.
