The New York City Teaching Fellows program is preparing a critical mass of exceptional teachers committed to a better future for the NYC students who need them most.

Great teaching isn’t easy, and it doesn’t happen overnight. Our teachers believe in the power of practice. Fellows engage in rigorous practice so that they hit the ground running on day one, and they have the passion to continue improving for years to come.

Our teachers understand that teaching our students is a privilege, and a tremendous responsibility. They believe that every lesson has the power to inspire, and every student has the potential to succeed.

Our teachers go where they are needed the most - they teach in underserved communities, where schools often struggle to attract and retain great teachers.

More than 10,000 Teaching Fellows are currently teaching in New York City public schools. Together they are demonstrating the power of great teaching – and proving what’s possible in public education.
