What are the responsibilities and job description for the Support DC Charter Schools as a NYU Resident Teacher: Elementary & Secondary position at NYU Teacher Residency?
NYU Steinhardt, in partnership with charter schools across Washington D.C., is seeking talented and passionate prospective secondary English, math, social studies, special education, and science teachers to participate in an immersive, leading-edge teacher preparation program, the NYU Teacher Residency. In just one year, residency participants earn a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) taught by the world-renowned Steinhardt faculty, while simultaneously gaining real-world classroom experience.
Upon successful completion of the program, eligible participants often receive preferential hiring in their residency schools or networks as full-time teachers, and make a commitment to teach for additional years.
Why Apply? You’ll acquire valuable classroom experience in an elementary or secondary school as you study to become a certified English, math, social studies, science specialist or Teacher of Students with Disabilities.
- Our full-day residency partners across the city pay yearly stipends ranging from $35,000 - $45,000 during the residency year.
- Innovative curriculum developed and taught virtually by NYU Steinhardt faculty
- Supportive learning communities with fellow residents and teaching mentors
- Regular feedback and coaching on your teaching in one-on-one and small group sessions with NYU Steinhardt faculty
- Affordable tuition and scholarship support for eligible students
Who Can Apply? College graduates with a strong academic grounding in English, math, social studies, or science are encouraged to apply. To qualify for special education, you need a foundation in the liberal arts and a desire to support students of all abilities. While no previous teaching experience or education coursework is necessary, a commitment to social justice and a strong belief that every child deserves a great education is required.
How Does the Application Work? After passing initial faculty review, academically-admitted candidates are invited to explore roles with our partner schools. Based on preferences of candidates, these roles are available as both paid and unpaid. Applicants are provided salary and benefit information to help them choose where they would like to potentially interview. NYU Steinhardt does not place students into schools; candidates enter into hiring processes with schools and if they find an acceptable role, they can commit to the position and complete their enrollment in the program for the current cohort.
