Education Fellows Program
The Urban Education Fellows Program (UEFP)
is designed to improve the quality of education in independent private,
parochial or charter schools in the greater Milwaukee area.
The UEFP requires a two-year commitment to work in a school, learning on the job with a coach, and successful completion of college course work.
As an Urban Education Fellow, you will:
- Be hired as a teacher in an independent private, parochial or charter
school while you are participating in the program
- Take courses in a schedule that accommodates your teaching responsibilities
(late afternoons, evenings, weekends, and summer school)
- Apply the learning in your coursework to your practice with learners
at your worksite
- Receive AmeriCorps funding to partially cover your tuition
Participate in team activities
Urban Education Fellows is co-sponsored by Alverno and Mount Mary College.
The program's mission is to assist participants as they become new teachers and to help them prepare their credentials for licensure. Applicants must have a baccalaureate degree, but it needn't be in education. This program is open to women and men.
This rigorous program consists of a series of accelerated courses and other professional development opportunities. The two-year program (seven semesters) will lead to teaching certification (grades 1 - 8) and a Master of Arts in Education from either Mount Mary College or Alverno College.
To ensure your success, coaching and mentoring will be part of the program, along with sharing among program participants. Generous financial assistance makes the program affordable. Classes are scheduled in a convenient format that works around your schedule and responsibilities.
If you are committed to improving the quality of education for children in Milwaukee's independent private, parochial or charter schools, this program is for you!
Applications for 2014-2016 will be accepted October 2013 - January 2014 for a program to begin mid-June 2014.
