[History undergraduates] REMINDER: NYC Teaching Fellow program -- Final applications deadline, March 6
by Francesca Bregoli 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

Dear History seniors and MA students, The final application deadline for the NYC Teaching Fellow program is this Friday, March 6. This program offers teacher training and places teachers in NYC public schools. Fellows earn a subsidized MA in education during the program. More information and all important links can be found below. All best, Prof. Bregoli *Program Description*: The NYC Teaching Fellows program is preparing a critical mass of exceptional teachers committed to a better future for the NYC students. Our teachers go where they are needed most - they teach in low-income neighborhoods, where too many children have fallen behind and are struggling to catch up. Currently, Fellows make up more than 11% of the teaching force in New York City. In high-need areas, our impact is even greater. Fellows make up 23 percent of all special education teachers in NYC, 21 percent of all science teachers in NYC, and 15 percent of *all *teachers in the Bronx. Fellows who successfully complete our program become full-time teachers within a few months of enrolling. They participate in an innovative, practice-based summer training program <https://nycteachingfellows.org/program/training.asp> and then earn a subsidized master's degree in Education <https://nycteachingfellows.org/program/masters_certification.asp> while teaching in a New York City public school. *Our application for the June 2015 Fellowship is closing on March 6.* Visit nycteachingfellows.org today to learn more about our program and prepare for our application process <https://nycteachingfellows.org/becomeafellow/Apply%20Now.asp>. -- Francesca Bregoli Queens College-CUNY, History department Assistant Professor Phi Alpha Theta/History Club and Internships Faculty Advisor Powdermaker Hall 352YY Queens, NY 11367 Acting director, Center for Jewish Studies The Graduate Center, CUNY

In addition, interns build a strong network within the community of historians in academia, the government, and public history institutions.
