Our Alumni

Urban Teachers Alumni benefit greatly from completing their four-year commitment. Over the course of that time, they have been trained and instructed in urban schools, received one-one-coaching and mentoring, and built a solid and supportive network of peers. Many Urban Teachers graduates assume leadership roles in their schools, such as grade level team leaders, department chairs, or instructional coaches.
