The
first deadline for applying to the Indianapolis Teaching Fellows (ITF) program is December 10, 2012. IFT is
recruiting teachers to serve in several subject areas, with a particular focus
in English, special education, math, science, Spanish, and French. The
program begins in Summer 2013.
Teaching as a Career
ITF recruits talented recent graduates and mid-career professionals who bring experience and significant content knowledge to teaching. ITF emphasizes teaching as a long-term career change. We look for people who will stay in the classroom and effect change from within their schools. Each teaching position is considered a career with a full-time teaching salary ($33,000-39,000 plus benefits), and we expect at least a 3 year commitment from our Fellows.

Training
During the summer, Fellows
participate in an intensive, six-week Fast Start Pre-Service Training (PST) to master the foundational skills
necessary to improve outcomes in schools where students lag several
grade-levels behind. Fast Start PST prepares people without
formal education backgrounds to be immediately effective in challenging school
environments, building on the deep content knowledge they already possess by
preparing them to teach it. Professional development activities focus on the
foundations of effective instructional delivery and classroom management – and
participants are able to apply those skills right away by first practicing with
other Fellows in training sessions and then by leading actual summer school
classes, where they will work alongside experienced teachers to get an authentic field experience and
receive real-time feedback through coaching.
Program Costs
There are no program or training costs associated with ITF - however, Fellows do complete a Master of the Arts in Teaching degree from Marian University. The cost of tuition is offset by an Americorps award of $5,500 and Fellows are responsible for the remaining $700-1000 at the end of 2 years of study.
Additional information and Fellow profiles are available on the program website.
