ARIZONA TEACHING FELLOWS
Arizona Teaching Fellows
Brighten Arizona’s future. Teach.
Nearly 30% of Arizona high school students do not graduate from high school. Of those that do, less than half are eligible for admission to Arizona universities. Teachers have a greater impact on student learning than any other school factor. Make a difference and be the teacher that Arizona students need.
Arizona Teaching Fellows is accepting applications for candidates to teach math, science, special education, elementary, and language arts! Apply now!
The Arizona Teaching Fellows program (www.ArizonaTeachingFellows.org) recruits talented individuals from diverse backgrounds to teach in classrooms across Arizona. We are looking for career changers and recent college graduates who will use their knowledge, experience, and records of achievement to positively change the lives of students in Arizona. You do not need previous educational experience or coursework. You will train and earn your teacher’s certification with other outstanding Arizona Teaching Fellows.
Benefits of Arizona Teaching Fellows include:
¨ Opportunity to teach grades K-12
¨ Full-time teaching positions in classrooms across Arizona if accepted (opportunities to teach in urban and rural areas)
¨ Customized certification program that will be completed while teaching full-time
¨ Opportunities for student loan forbearance and forgiveness (undergrad and graduate) for individuals committing to teach math, science,
and special education in high-need communities
¨ Join a distinguished cohort of accomplished, high quality colleagues, who will become a strong professional network working to make a
greater difference with the students who have the greatest need
¨ Specialized summer training that includes a student teaching component, during which Fellows receive hands-on training and coaching on
effective teaching strategies; Fellows will also receive a transitional living stipend
*All first year Fellows may be eligible for a $5,550 AmeriCorps award after successful completion of their first year!
