Current Deadline: Monday, September 28th

Your students are waiting. Are you ready to lead a classroom?

City Teaching Alliance prepares career-changers and recent grads to become highly effective teachers - no education degree or classroom experience required to start. You'll teach in a high-need school from day one while earning a Master's degree from leading regional university partners, dual certification, and 1:1 coaching from a mentor and host teacher. This isn't teaching alone and figuring it out; it's teaching with a team behind you.

We're seeking passionate individuals to teach Elementary Education, Secondary Math, or Secondary Literacy in:

-Greater DC Metro

-Baltimore & the state of Maryland

-Dallas and the surrounding Metroplex

-Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Fellows commit to at least three years in the classroom; enough time to see the real, compounding impact of great teaching on your students.

Why Join Us

• City Teaching Alliance prepares educators through our 5Cs:

• Coaching & Mentoring - Personalized, 1:1 guidance from a veteran teacher who's done this before (in Dallas, this mentor is your "host teacher") to help you grow faster than you would alone.

• Clinical Placement - Real classroom experience in high-need schools from day one, not a semester of theory before you ever meet a student.

• Coursework - Earn a Master’s degree from a leading regional university partner, which you can use as a launch pad for leadership roles down the line.

• Certification - Graduate with dual certification: your content area and Special Education.

• Care - Join a network of 2,400+ educators nationwide who are still showing up for students long after their first year.

• Bachelor's degree by June 2027

• Minimum 3.0 undergraduate GPA

• US Citizen, Permanent Resident, or DACA recipient
