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, every hour in the classroom is precious, and every student has the potential to succeed. Our teachers go where they are needed the most - they teach in urban neighborhoods, where too many children have fallen behind and are struggling to catch up. They understand the challenges of growing up in a low-income community, and work tirelessly to provide their students with the educational opportunities available to students from wealthier backgrounds. More than 8,700 Teaching Fellows are currently teaching in New York City public schools. Together they are demonstrating the transformative power of great teaching – and proving what's possible in public education.
