Program Components

Designed as a Rhodes Scholarship for teaching, the Annenberg Fellowship seeks to raise teaching’s prestige and create a new gold standard for teacher preparation. Its goals:

  • Attract outstanding candidates to teaching
  • Place well-prepared teachers in high-need schools
  • Reduce teacher attrition through ongoing support
  • Model the best in teacher preparation

The Fellowship will prepare new teachers to use data on student learning as feedback on their teaching, build strong and supportive relationships with pupils, teach with a clear focus on issues of equity, and understand teaching as an ongoing process of intellectual inquiry. All fellows will experience a year long preparatory program, led by outstanding faculty and community leaders who are committed to improving public schooling in urban areas. Students will obtain a Masters in Teaching plus a certificate for middle and high school teaching in mathematics or science.

 Fellows will have access to three years of systematic mentoring and coaching after they begin their teaching career through the form of the University-based induction program. This groundbreaking induction program offers fellows a wealth of resources, including hands-on partnership with local schools, ongoing workshops with their cohort, and intensive learning experiences in real classrooms.
