Learn to Teach at Harvard
Teachers change lives – be part of that change at the Harvard Graduate School of Education by becoming a teacher. Applications are now open for the new Teaching and Teacher Leadership master’s program, which will prepare you to lead transformative learning experiences that expand opportunity, fuel student success, and make a positive impact on young people and their communities.
We offer two ways to become licensed to teach in a U.S. school. In the residency model, you’ll jump in and make an immediate impact as a teacher of record in a Boston-area school, while gaining the rich and meaningful preparation you need. This model offers you extensive fellowship support that will make your master’s degree affordable. We also offer an internship model, for those who seek to ramp up teaching responsibility more gradually. Upon graduating from either model, you will be eligible to teach English, science, math, and history at the middle school and high school levels.
The application deadlines are November 1, 2022, for the residency model, which carries priority for significant fellowship support, and January 5, 2023 for the internship model.

Harvard is committed to supporting new teachers – with extensive funding opportunities, mentors to learn from, and field experiences that will fuel your professional growth.
Teach for a Just Future-Urban Teachers
Structural racism and inequality have kept generations of urban children from receiving the education they deserve. At Urban Teachers, we believe that qualified, highly effective teachers who stay in the classroom can empower students through learning. Our teachers develop the skills, hands-on experience and knowledge to ensure every child receives an equitable education. Urban Teachers and American University have partnered to deliver a curriculum that not only provides a grounding in high-quality K-12 instruction, but also teaches the importance of understanding and appreciating a child’s community and culture. American’s professors, selected for their student-centered approach to learning and experience in urban public education, deliver courses including “Race, Culture, and Equity in Urban Education” and “Trauma Informed Teaching Practices.”
Program Overview
Our program is intense. Our teachers receive a master’s degree from our higher education partner and become dually certified to teach in either elementary education, secondary English or secondary math, and special education. We offer more comprehensive coursework and personalized support than any other teacher training program. In the first year, our participants take part in a residency as they work alongside an experienced teacher in an urban classroom while taking graduate courses after school. In the second year, our participants become fellows, moving into full-time, salaried teaching positions, while receiving expert coaching from our clinical faculty. That guidance and support continue for the third year, during which time, our fellows develop their teaching practices to provide students with the support they need to thrive.

Its Fall Semester 2022, Welcome Back to Midd!
Greetings folks!
Campus finally looks like its alive again with all of you back here in Vermont in person. For those of you studying abroad, here’s to a wonderful semester or year. There are a few TIPS that I’d like to introduce you to about using CCI’s Handshake database which is ‘chock full’ of internship and job opportunities waiting for you to apply. Please read these Tips and feel free to reach out, should you need additional assistance:
- Fill out or update your Handshake profile AND your “My Career Interests” information. The more you ‘talk’ to Handshake, the better it will work for you. When you update your Career Interests area it will curate opportunities based on what you let Handshake know you’re interested in. Update it each semester and/or yearly!
- Set up “Job Alerts” to get NEW opportunities in your email as soon as they are posted: when you use the filters or keywords to search for internships or jobs, you can “sort” the results by “Application Deadline” and then “Save the Search” which is found on the top of the results of the search. This wording says: “Don’t Miss Out-New jobs are getting added all the time. SAVE YOUR SEARCH and be the first to know.” Here’s a quick Save Your Search Tutorial borrowed from UCLA.
- Have your resume reviewed by a PCA (Peer Career Advisor) BEFORE you apply for any internships or jobs–REALLY IMPORTANT!! PCA Quick Question (QQs) hours and locations this fall semester can be found on our main CCI site. No appointment needed; just show up!
- Make an appointment with an Advisor through Handshake, and that could be me, Tracy Himmel Isham, if you’re interested in the environment, non-profits, sustainable agriculture, education, international development, and anything that you might want to add a social impact lens to.
Looking forward to seeing you over the fall semester; don’t be a stranger and welcome back!
