Announcing The Yale Teaching Fellowship

The Yale Teaching Fellowship, funded by Yale University, aims to train high-quality teachers from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, cover teacher shortage areas, and promote long-term teacher retention in New Haven Public Schools (NHPS). This fellowship comes out of the Yale & Slavery Research Project.

Yale University has partnered with New Haven Public Schools, New Haven Promise, and Southern Connecticut State University to develop a fellowship program that supports graduate study for current and aspiring educators in exchange for at least three years of service in New Haven Public Schools. Over four years, beginning in May 2025, the program will place up to 100 teachers with Master’s degrees in the city’s schools.
