Company OverviewMake a difference in the lives of students who need you. Phoenix Teaching Fellows seeks outstanding professionals and recent college graduates who wish to build a career making a difference in the lives of Phoenix’s children. This highly-selective program is designed to recruit and train socially-driven individuals, like you, who want to give back to our community by becoming teachers in high-need elementary and K-8 public schools in Murphy Elementary School District and Phoenix Elementary School District.Students with diverse ethnic backgrounds need you: your commitment, your high expectations, and your desire to close the achievement gap. Of every 100 white kindergartners across the nation, 93 graduate high school and 65 go on to attend some college. Of every 100 Hispanic kindergartners, only 63 graduate high school and 32 go on to attend some college. (US Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. March Current Population Surveys, 1971-2001, in ‘The Condition of Education 2002’) It does not have to be this way. As a Phoenix Teaching Fellow, you can change these statistics for the students in your classroom. Apply today to take advantage of this program’s unique benefits. The Teaching Fellows program will offer up to 50 new teachers this year the opportunity to join this selective accelerated route into the classroom – teaching math, science, special education or language arts/reading. Teaching Fellows will participate in a specialized, hands-on summer training designed specifically to prepare individuals changing careers into the field of education. Summer training enables Fellows to practice teach, to work with experienced educators, to learn about specific curricula they will likely use in their fall teaching positions, and to learn how to use resources to successfully communicate concepts while holding students’ attention. Beyond this intensive summer training experience, Fellows will enroll in Arizona State University’s alternate route certification program, enabling them to complete certification coursework – and earn a Master’s degree – while teaching full time, earning a regular salary and benefits. Fellows may apply for the added benefit of an AmeriCorps Education Award to help defer the cost of certification and Master’s coursework. Candidates to the Phoenix Teaching Fellows program benefit from a streamlined application process, and those who are accepted will join a dedicated network of like-minded professionals and new educators. We encourage you to apply today - whether you are fresh out of college and ready to leverage your academic success into a teaching career, or a professional with years of experience in the non-profit world or the private sector ready to change careers to teach. This is your chance to become a leader in the movement addressing inequalities in education, by working tirelessly to close the achievement gap in your classroom, for your students. Dramatic change does not happen overnight. But Teaching Fellows’ perseverance each day – setting high expectations for their students, assessing real academic gains, and constantly refining their work – will make a critical difference in student learning. Fellows will have the unique opportunity to make a difference in the lives of Phoenix students by participating in a specialized summer training program, earning their teaching certification and Master’s degree while teaching full time, and connecting with other driven individuals who share a sense of urgency in addressing one of our country’s most pressing issues—ensuring that students most in need achieve rigorous academic goals. Brighten Phoenix’s future. Teach. Apply today. |
