Become a Teacher
Phoenix Teaching Fellows
Brighten Phoenix’s future. Teach.
Make a meaningful impact in the lives of Phoenix’s students. Apply your talents and become a teacher through Phoenix Teaching Fellows and start teaching this fall.
The Phoenix Teaching Fellows program (www.PhoenixTeachingFellows.org) recruits talented individuals from diverse backgrounds to teach in our district partner’s high need subject areas – where the need for exceptional teachers is greatest. We are looking for recent college graduates and career changers who will use their knowledge, experience, and records of achievement to positively change the lives of students in Phoenix. You do not need previous educational experience or coursework. You will train and earn your teacher’s certification with other outstanding Phoenix Teaching Fellows.
Benefits of Phoenix Teaching Fellows include:
• Full time position in one of Phoenix’s high-need classrooms if accepted
• Customized Master of Education and certification program that will be completed while teaching full time
• Possible eligibility for the AmeriCorps Education Award that may be used towards certification and Master’s coursework, or paying existing student loans
• Opportunities for student loan forbearance and forgiveness (undergrad and graduate) for individuals committing to teach math, science, and special education in high-need communities
• Network of talented, committed teachers working to make a greater difference with the students who have the greatest need
• No-cost, specialized summer training that includes a student teaching component, during which Fellows receive hands-on training and coaching on effective teaching strategies; Fellows will also receive a transitional living stipend
Due to the competitive nature of the program and limited available interview spots, we urge you to complete your application in the next two weeks. Applications are reviewed and interviews are granted on a rolling basis.
As a Phoenix Teaching Fellow, you will make a critical impact on students who truly need dedicated, inspirational teachers. Learn more today:
