1 Frequently Asked Questions 1. What is Urban Teachers? Urban Teachers is a non-profit organization with a transformational teacher preparation model. Urban Teachers recruits outstanding applicants, equips them with state-of-the-art training, and links their certification to their demonstration of effective teaching performance. Urban Teachers does not run its own schools. We partner with both traditional and charter public schools in high-need urban areas. Urban Teachers is focused on training the nation s most effective teachers. 2. What makes Urban Teachers different from other teacher preparation programs? All of our teachers are prepared through a residency model and a breakthrough Master s of Education program (Secondary Math and Special Education; Secondary English Language Arts and Special Education; and Elementary Education and Special Education) that gives our teachers the skills and knowledge they need to be successful in the most challenging urban school environments. Before becoming eligible for program completion and full certification, all Urban Teachers participants must demonstrate effective teaching practice. At the end of the four-year program, Urban Teachers graduates will promote teacher effectiveness and accountability as leaders in their schools and districts. Over time, these teachers will be among the most expert and results-oriented in the nation, assuming teacher leadership roles and making the public case for better teacher preparation and educator accountability. 3.
