Change the Lives of Thousands While Changing Your Own. Join Urban Teachers in Baltimore, Dallas or Washington, DC
About Urban Teachers:
Urban Teachers is transforming the way people are prepared for a career in teaching. Through hands-on training, coaching and peer supports, we give teachers the skills they need to improve outcomes for students in high-needs communities. By doing so, our teachers are changing the lives of the students, families and communities they serve, as well their own.
About Our Residency Program:
· Urban Teachers provides the best teaching preparation available. During the first year of the four-year (4yr) program, before you start teaching on your own, you'll spend 1,500 hours working with students in urban classrooms. You will also complete graduate coursework that is clinically based, allowing for immediate practice of learned skills in the classroom and equipping you with a toolbox of proven strategies for working with all students. Our four (4) years of mentoring and support tailored to your needs—from coaches and peers—is available longer than any other preparation program. And, because Urban Teachers prepares you for the job from day 1, you'll be able to quickly grow into an effective teacher leader, providing support and guidance to your colleagues in your school and city.
· In addition to extensive classroom experience during the residency, Urban Teachers participants earn a master's degree with a dual focus in general and special education that is directly relevant to the urban teacher.
· Urban Teachers also provides three (3) years of one-on-one coaching. During the first year, participants receive a stipend from Urban Teachers. Starting your second year, you are the teacher of record and participants begin to receive full teacher's pay. (Teacher salaries in Baltimore and DC are some of the highest in the nation. Both cities allow an effective teacher to earn six figures. )
As part of an Urban Teachers cohort in every school, you're never alone. Being with other Urban Teachers participants provides an immediate network —in your school and in the thriving –Baltimore, Dallas or Washington, DC. Urban Teachers educators are trusted by and form partnerships with their colleagues across schools. Teachers are respected community and civic leaders. Whether you're doing home visits or running into your student's families at the market, you'll be having an impact on improving the neighborhood and community you're living in.
