[YEP-DC] Teachers: Become a Teaching Policy Fellow

Join the Teach Plus Washington, D.C. Teaching Policy Fellowship!

Teach Plus addresses the urgent need for effective, experienced teachers in urban classrooms by expanding the concept of teacher leadership. The Teach Plus Teaching Policy Fellowship is a selective 18-month Fellowship that engages highly effective, early-career teachers in work on issues related to the future of the teaching profession. Teaching Policy Fellows are classroom teachers who meet monthly to interact directly with education policy leaders and research experts; analyze education reform initiatives; study innovative practices; and advocate for reforms that would better retain great teachers like themselves in the profession. Fellows receive a $2,400 stipend.
