Our teachers become career educators committed to equity and inclusivity, ensuring every student receives a great education. We believe access to a quality education gives young people the tools to become forces of change in their communities.

It is augmented by graduate coursework leading to a Master of Arts in teaching degree which is completed in two years and is clinically based, allowing teachers to practice their skills immediately in the classroom. The residency is followed by three years of coaching and mentoring that aids in the development of outstanding practice in the field. When you join Urban Teachers, you are starting a journey to become one of the most expert and results-oriented teachers for high needs schools. Our teachers assume leadership roles early in their careers and help us make the case for better teacher preparation and educator accountability nationwide.
