Urban Teachers Overview

At Urban Teachers, we train teachers to be highly effective educators who empower every child through learning. 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. Urban Teachers participants earn a Master of Science in Education from the Johns Hopkins School of Education. The curriculum is hands-on, practical and specifically designed for urban schools. Our program emphasizes literacy and math skills, an...d includes coursework and dual certification in special education and a content areaensuring our teachers can meet the needs of all children. Only Urban Teachers offers a highly-selective, rigorous program that includes three years of intensive coaching. During the first year in our program, known as the residency year, our participants work in the classroom alongside a host teacher getting over 1,500 hours of real classroom experience. Residents devote their time to developing their clinical practice during the day in their assigned school and developing their content and instructional knowledge through coursework in the masters program at night. In year two, our residents become fellows and step into classrooms of their own. They continue their training as a teacher of record with continued coursework and coaching support. Three-quarters of our first-year teachers complete all four years of the program. More
