Do you enjoy working with children? Do you believe that improving public education in low-income communities is the civil rights movement of our time? Do you want to explore teaching to see if it’s right for you? If so, you should consider becoming a Summer Teaching Fellow. Our Program The Teacher U Summer Teaching Fellows Program (STF) is a highly competitive, unique fellowship designed to introduce college students to the world of teaching and urban public education reform. This program is a collaborative effort among Teacher U and its three charter school management partners - Achievement First, KIPP, and Uncommon Schools - organizations that are at the forefront of education reform. We aim to recruit a diverse group of individuals to our schools who exhibit perseverance, hope, a passion for teaching, and a deep understanding of what it takes to work effectively in racially and ethnically diverse urban school communities. For eight weeks in the summer following your junior year, you’ll be placed at a top-performing urban public charter school in New York City, where: You will spend your days:

• Observing and teaching in classrooms
• Exploring high-performing schools and learning their best practices
• Working one-on-one and in small groups with students
• Learning from master teachers and leaders who have achieved significant results

You will spend your nights and weekends:

• Exploring all that New York City has to offer
• Bonding with your cohort of other STF members at organized events throughout the summer
• Living in a dorm in the heart of New York City provided by STF

Who knows? At the end of the summer, you may have just found the perfect job! Plus you get paid! Interested? For more information and to apply: Visit www.teacheru.org/stf Contact Candice Williams, Program Manager at stf@teacheru.org or 212-228-1888 ext. 131
