Scholars & Accelerators:
Happy holidays! We hope you’re having a great start to your holiday season. While you are on a much-deserved break, we wanted to provide an opportunity for you to be creative and have some fun with Golden Apple.
The journey of each teacher to the classroom is unique but we know your path has an extra layer that makes it a special one as a Scholar or Accelerator.
That’s why we want to hear from you in our “Golden Apple IN ACTION” campaign that will be featured on our YouTube channel. It’s time to put that content creator hat on!
What is our goal? To showcase the journey of our Golden Apple Scholars & Accelerators and the impact you are - or will be - making in classrooms.
How can you participate? Simply record a video answering the questions below and submit it via our campaign form.
What’s in it for you? If your video is selected to be featured on our YouTube channel, you will receive a $250 stipend.
Question Prompts:
- Why should aspiring teachers apply to the Scholars/Accelerators program?
- How is Golden Apple making you a better teacher?
- What's your favorite part of being a Scholar/Accelerator?
- Why do you love teaching?
- What advice would you give a new teacher?
What makes for a good submission? First, read through this “cheat sheet” of tips for recording videos at home. Make it fun and be yourself! Think about the type of video content that catches your eye on YouTube and other social media channels and get creative!
How will you know if your video is selected? We will reach out to you prior to the video being uploaded and will ask you to help promote it on your personal social media feeds, too!
How will you decide what videos are selected? Our team will review video submissions and choose based on video quality, how compelling the responses are and creativity.
We look forward to watching your content and learning more about your journey in our programs. If you have questions, please reach out to Damarr Smith at dsmith@goldenapple.org.
