The Flowing Wells/Arizona Teaching Fellows is a unique program offered through a partnership between the University of Arizona and Flowing Wells.  Students in the program work closely with the Flowing Wells School District throughout their teacher preparation program, completing all of the fieldwork in our District with one or more mentor teachers who are also dedicated to working with children and adolescents in Southern Arizona.
