The New York City Department of Education (NYC DOE) has awarded 成人影片 University a $9 million Teaching Fellows Program grant. The six-year grant, $1.5 million each year, will prepare an estimated 900 teaching fellows for New York City public schools at 成人影片鈥攁bout 150 per year.
Since 2000, the New York City Teaching Fellows Program has been collaborating with selected universities and colleges to prepare teachers with alternative routes, addressing teacher shortage areas in New York City school districts. The programs offered include teaching English as a foreign language (TESOL) and bilingual education, science education faculty, special education (including autism), and childhood and adolescent education.
鈥湷扇擞捌� is influencing alternative teacher preparation by providing quality education programs,” said Xiao-lei Wang, PhD, dean of 成人影片’s College of Education and Health Sciences. 鈥淭his grant will help strengthen collaboration between 成人影片 and the NYC DOE and serve as a model for future teacher preparation.”
There are three types of teaching fellow programs being offered at 成人影片’s Manhattan Center:
- Alternative Teacher Preparation Route:听This program prepares those who do not have a degree in teaching. Rather than completing a traditional teacher education program prior to entering the classroom, teaching fellows pursue a master’s degree in education while teaching full time in a New York City public school.
- Advanced Certificate in a Specific Content Area:听Teachers currently working in New York City schools can take an advanced certificate in a specific content area (such as science education/math, TESOL or special education).
- Traditional Educational Program:听Students will go through 成人影片’s regular teacher education programs.
The new teaching fellows program is geared toward students studying science education, special education, and TESOL/Bilingual areas and will be taught in a cohort model. Only those recruited for this program by NYC DOE and the 成人影片 Office of University Admissions will be able to enroll. In addition to the grant to 成人影片, which allows for enhanced courses and other services, NYC DOE will subsidize tuition for all teaching fellows.
The first cohort of teaching fellows for 成人影片 is scheduled to launch in January 2022.
