BARUCH COLLEGE— CUNY announced that student enrollment for the New York City Teaching Fellows program tripled, on March 3.
The NYC Teaching Fellows program, launched in 2000 by NYC Public Schools, is an accelerated teacher training initiative aimed at recruiting recent college graduates to teach in highly needed subjects like science, math and special education.
Since its launch, the program has trained more than 15,000 teachers who now serve in classrooms throughout the city. Many fellows continue to build long-term careers in education and advance to leadership positions. Among the program’s alumni is New York City Public Schools Chancellor Kamar H. Samuels.
