We don't train teachers -- we train great teachers. Click here to learn how you can transform your academic background and professional experience into a high-impact career as a licensed teacher in Nashville.

Why Join?

We seek outstanding candidates with the dedication and knowledge required to teach high-need middle and high school STEM subjects, such as chemistry, biology and math.

You may have built a successful career in healthcare, finance or engineering, and now wish to give back as a teacher. You could be an accomplished recent graduate who majored in chemistry, mathematics or physics who now wants to share your passion for those subjects with students. Whatever your background, you believe that every student can excel in science and math and will do whatever it takes to help them get there.

Program Overview

Nashville Teaching Fellows provides an accelerated pathway into teaching for accomplished professionals and recent college graduates who aren't yet licensed as educators, but who possess the dedication and content knowledge to teach in some of Nashville's highest-need schools.

Great teachers have a huge and lasting impact on students' lives, and students grappling with the challenges of poverty need great teachers most. That's why our program is so selective --in 2013, only 8% of all Teaching Fellows applicants successfully met our standards for admission, training and entry into the classroom.

In addition to science and math we are also currently seeking outstanding candidates to teach other critical-need subjects, including middle school, English, Spanish, English as a Second Language (ESL) and special education.

They seek out and welcome advice from instructors, coaches and peers. Commit to practice . They work deliberately to perfect new techniques that will improve their teaching. Embrace challenges. They meet the daily challenges of teaching in a high-need school with determination and optimism. Share their passions. They use their deep subject knowledge to ignite student interest, inspiring achievement and a real love of learning.
