Become a Bold Teaching Fellow

Our Teaching Fellowship Program is a highly-selective, school-based training program that empowers aspiring teachers with the training, skills, and experiences needed to become highly effective teachers. Ideal candidates are those who hold a commitment to improving educational outcomes in traditionally underserved communities. The Teaching Fellowship Program provides Fellows with strategic support and financial assistance to cover the cost of obtaining a New York State Teaching Certification and a Master's Degree.

Full-Time Employment

Teaching Fellows hold full-time teaching positions at Bold, supporting Lead Teachers in the classroom, as well as providing small-group instruction in reading and math. Throughout their first year, Teaching Fellows take on increasing levels of classroom responsibility as they prepare to move into Lead Teaching positions in their second year. Teaching Fellows are paid a full-time salary, and are eligible for all benefits offered to any Bold employee.

EARN A MASTER'S DEGREE FOR FREE

Bold provides Teaching Fellows with strategic and financial support so Fellows can obtain their New York State Teaching Certification as well as a Masters in Education Degree. Bold will cover 100% of certification-related expenses, and provide a graduate school stipend to cover the cost of graduate school tuition for a Master's Degree.

Pursue Leadership Opportunities

Upon completing the Fellowship, Fellows are well-positioned to continue developing as Lead Teachers, as well as take on leadership opportunities across the organization. Such leadership opportunities include grade team leadership, content leadership, and school leadership roles.
