Subject: English Teachers in New York City

Dear Queens College,

In the English Department at Queens College you have the unique opportunity to identify current students or recent graduates who have had intensive literature coursework, and a passion to share their love of learning with students in high-need New York City public schools. Please consider nominating those individuals to become teachers through the New Visions-Hunter College Urban Teacher Residency, a teacher training program that blends graduate coursework and clinical classroom experience to prepare excellent and committed teachers.

Please consider recommending a talented prospective teacher for the residency program by sending me the name, email and content specialty of your student, or you can share my email address, kferguson@newvisions.org, with an interested candidate.

About the New Visions-Hunter College Teacher Residency Program:

The New Visions for Public Schools-Hunter College Teacher Residency is an 18-month teacher training program that fully integrates the graduate coursework of the aspiring teacher with intensive, hands-on experiences in New York City public schools alongside an expert mentor teacher. For the 2016-17 school year we will be preparing English language arts, English as a second language and special education residents. For more information about our program, visit our website at www.NYCUTR.org.

Thank you for your time and dedication to all students.


Sincerely,

Kim Ferguson
