Urban Ed Fellows benefit from observations, feedback, and professional development facilitated through our partnership with Stem to the Future (STTF). STTF offers quarterly Professional Developments (PDs) on Liberatory Design, empowering students to lead initiatives and collaboratively execute projects in the community.
Urban Ed Fellows receive bi-weekly coaching from their Impact Manager and participate in a Performance Development Cycle to ensure a successful first year in the fellowship.
The first years in the classroom are the most challenging, especially if you are the only or first educator who looks like you in a school. Urban Ed’s team is intentional about building community and connection amongst fellows, within the community, and through mentorship.
Throughout the year fellows and cohorts have opportunities to be in community with one another while learning about or experiencing the area they are working and living in.
Fellows receive housing throughout the 4-year Fellowship but pay for their utilities directly. In year one housing is covered 100%, year two 75%, and in years three and four they receive subsidized housing through our trusted housing partner.
Additionally Fellows receive a one-time relocation stipend when they join the program.
Fellows gain access to free mental health services to care for themselves while they educate and care for their students.
Fellows come from all over the country, have different majors, backgrounds and interests. But they all share the common goal of improving their communities, of being a leader and transforming our communities through education.
Campus Ambassadors are college students that work from their respective campuses and are responsible for building and maintaining a pipeline of prospective Educator Fellowship candidates.
