Meredith Teaching Fellows are leaders in many organizations on campus. As a result, TF typically provide more service hours than are required of a Teaching Fellow. We want to accurately reflect the tremendous amount of work done by our students on our annual report, so PLEASE include all service hours on your service/tutoring log each semester – even if they exceed your commitment as a Fellow. You can double dip (count tutoring for a class for TF hours as well), but it MUST be done in Wake County Schools. Be sure to keep up with your hours – either in your planner or on the service log sheet and remember to get your mentor teacher, Ms. Hargrove, or the person in charge of that event to initial your hours. (Work for which you are paid does not count for tutoring/service hours.)
