Benefits of Teaching in New Orleans
:
Innovative School Structure:
New Orleans is the first city in the country where most students attend
charter schools, so Teaching Fellows can find their fit by choosing
from among dozens of high-performing charters in Greater New Orleans,
or a more traditional setting in a Jefferson Parish Public School.
Classroom-Centered Preparation:
Fellows support is radically simple: focused practice on key skills,
knowledge, and mindsets, so new teachers start strong. Where
traditional teacher preparation leaves little time for hands-on skill
building, our innovative training is centered around actual teaching
experience and focused practice on core skills, such as reflecting on
students' values, experiences, and ambitions to create opportunities
for students to see themselves in challenging content that will prepare
them for success.
Certification that Counts:
We hold the highest standards for licensure of any program in the
country. Throughout your first year in the classroom, we carefully
assess and support your growth, with expert coaching and personalized
support. teachNOLA Fellows are recognized not simply as certified
teachers, but as having a proven track record of classroom success.
Full Salary and Benefits:
While pursing certification, Fellows start earning a full teacher’s
salary plus comprehensive benefits when they begin working full-time at
a district or charter school at the beginning of the 2021-22 school
year.
