NYCTF Highlights
NYC Teaching Fellows are Closing the Achievement Gap
Today, over 9,000 Fellows are currently teaching in New York City schools, making up 11% of the city's overall population of teachers. Fellows work in 95% of the city's more than 1,400 schools.
Further, 86% of Fellows teach in high-need subject areas - 22% of all special education teachers, 18% of all science teachers, and 26% of all math teachers in New York City are Fellows.
84% of Fellows teach in schools that are eligible to receive funding due to a high population of students from low income families (Title I).

In the words of a Fellow..."They are just like any other kid - they are funny, they are excited to be at school. Its just that they have something else going on that makes school a bit more challenging for them."
- Julie, 2003 Fellow

NYC Teaching Fellows This year, New York City became the largest school district in the country to announce that it would “go green.” This is no small undertaking—the district has more than 1200 buildings and 1 million students—but efforts are already paying off.
Maria I've been a teacher for 4 years- and honestly feel that I was as prepared for the classroom as any other 1st year teacher through joining the Fellows. It is an unbelievable experience with every year, every day yielding new experiences and opportunity for growth.
