City Teaching AllianceWho We Are Our mission is to identify, prepare, and retain exceptional career educators who are empowered and equipped to make a lasting impact on the academic and life outcomes of all learners. City Teaching Alliance’s unique and effective 2+2 program model addresses some of the biggest challenges in education including teacher turnover, understaffed classrooms, and a shortage of certified and community-driven educators that can lead to unmet student potential. When participants join the City Teaching Alliance community in Baltimore, Dallas, Washington DC, or Philadelphia, they will stay in classrooms, strengthen local school communities, and drive student achievement where it matters most. Tackling Education’s Biggest Challenges City Teaching Alliance has grown steadily and sustainably since receiving a start-up grant from the New Schools Venture Fund in 2009. Through our higher education partner, American University, our teachers will receive a Master of Arts in Teaching which enables them to support every student in reaching their potential, leading to an impactful and rewarding career. We have welcomed over 2,500 aspiring educators and expanded to nearly 500 schools, teaching over 400,000 students in Baltimore, Dallas, Washington, DC, and most recently, Philadelphia. We believe that we can be most effective by committing deeply to these communities and anticipate expanding our reach in the years to come.
