Urban Teachers is a four-year, alternative teacher preparation program that operates in Baltimore, MD, Washington, DC and now Dallas (pending State approval).  Every participant in the program completes an intensive year-long residency, followed by a three-year teaching commitment in a high-need urban elementary, middle or high school.  In addition to extensive classroom experience during the residency, our teachers earn a master’s degree with a dual focus of general education (including a track for Secondary Mathematics) and special education that is directly relevant to the urban teacher.  They also receive three years of one-on-one coaching.  During the first year, participants receive a $20,000 stipend.  Teacher salaries in Baltimore and DC are some of the highest in the nation.  Both cities allow an effective teacher to earn six figures.  There is a $40,000 tuition for our program.  

All Urban Teachers are part of an unprecedented commitment to student performance: only those who demonstrate effective teaching practice and improve student learning receive two certifications and complete the program.  Urban Teachers are among the most expert and results-oriented in the nation.
