Program Overview
Our formula for success: aim high, train hard, and transform lives teaching in a
community where you choose to build your career in education.
Teaching Fellows are accomplished professionals and recent graduates who commit to
becoming exceptional teachers in our most disadvantaged communities. With hands-on
training, Teaching Fellows develop the skills to hit the ground running on day one and
continue improving for years to come.
Who We Want
We believe teaching is an honor and a privilege, which is why we hold the highest
standards of any training program in America. We look for accomplished individuals who
possess the skills and deep content knowledge to teach critical subjects where great
teachers are often in short supply, like science, math, and special education.
We are particularly interested in candidates with the dedication and knowledge required
to teach high-need STEM subjects, including math, chemistry, physics, and biology.
You may have built a successful career in healthcare, finance or engineering, and now
wish to give back as a teacher. Or you could be a recent graduate who wants to share a
passion for mathematics, computer science or physics with students. Whatever your
background, you believe that every student can excel in math and science and you will
do whatever it takes to help them get there.
Benefits of TNTP Teaching Fellows
Classroom-Centered Training: Our training is radically simple: focused practice on key
skills to get new teachers off to a strong start. With intensive summer training and
ongoing coaching from experienced teachers that lasts throughout the first year in the
classroom, Teaching Fellows practice, reflect, and improve until they master the craft of
great teaching.
Flexible Teaching Locations: With programs throughout the U.S., Teaching Fellows can
choose to teach and live in a city that fits their interests. Though our programs share a
common mission, they are as unique as the communities they serve.
Certification that Counts: We hold the highest standards for certification of any program
in the country. Upon graduating our programs, Teaching Fellows are recognized not
simply as certified teachers, but as having a proven track record of classroom success.
Full Salary and Benefits: Teaching Fellows will begin earning a full teacher’s salary,
starting at $35,000-60,000, plus comprehensive benefits, while pursuing certification
when they start working full-time at a district or charter school this fall.
