NYC Teaching Fellow – Mathematics Teacher

Become a Full-Time Teacher by Fall 2023. Apply to the NYC Teaching Fellows by 3/23/23!

Every student in New York City deserves an excellent teacher. The NYC Teaching Fellows is an alternative teacher certification program designed to provide training and support to aspiring teachers who dedicate themselves to raising student achievement and effecting change in New York City’s highest-need schools.

Become a Mathematics Teacher

This year, we are looking for applicants who hold a degree in Mathematics to become Fellows and teach Math in our schools.

NYC Teaching Fellows Training

The NYC Teaching Fellows provides aspiring teachers the opportunity to train full-time in a New York City public school for 6-7 weeks before becoming full-time teachers. During this summer pre-service training period, participants develop their teaching skills through hands-on experiences and 1:1 coaching with skilled Coaches and program staff.

Following summer training, program participants begin teaching full-time as salaried teachers in a New York City school. During the first 2-3 years of teaching, participants work towards earning their master’s degree and applying for their initial New York State teacher certification to continue their career as New York City teachers.

Our 2023 cohort of Fellows will have the opportunity to train to teach subjects based on their experience and qualifications. These include math, science (biology, chemistry, earth science, physics), Bilingual Spanish, Spanish language, Mandarin, Russian, and special education.

Benefits of the NYC Teaching Fellows

Build the foundation of your teaching career through a supportive, practice-based training experience. NYC Teaching Fellows benefits include:

• Stipend during pre-service training experience ($4500 total)
• Starting salary of at least $61,070 and full NYC DOE benefits following the summer training experience (beginning in September 2023)
• Heavily subsidized master’s degree in education
