City Year strengthens an applicant’s competitiveness and chances for being selected for the UP Teaching Fellows position with UP Education Network.

Background

UP Education Network is a nonprofit school management organization whose mission is to rapidly transform chronically underperforming district schools into extraordinary schools that sustain high achievement over time. Our turnaround schools ensure that students acquire the knowledge, skills, and strength of character necessary to succeed on the path to college and to achieve their full potential.   Across our network, we serve more than 3,000 students in Boston, Springfield and Lawrence. The City Year experience is a strong indicator of future success at UP Education Network and serving a year with City Year strengthens an applicant’s application and chances for being selected as a UP Teaching Fellow.

The UP Teaching Fellowship 

The UP Teaching Fellowship allows aspiring educators to develop into effective new teachers through a unique teacher training and residency model between UP Education Network and our graduate school partners.   UP Teaching Fellows are hired by one of our UP Academies as a Cluster Substitute Teachers (building-wide substitutes) and have structured time built into their days to receive coaching and development from school leaders, the UP Education Network, and their graduate school.  Boston Fellows enroll in the Sposato Graduate School of Education while Lawrence Fellows enroll in UMass Boston’s Teach Next Year program. Following the fellowship, Fellows may apply for a full-time teacher position at UP.
