In collaboration with New Haven Public Schools, Southern CT State University and New Haven Promise, Yale launched the Yale Teaching Fellowship, a $10 million dollar investment over the next five years to train over 100 teachers. Fellowship recipients will receive a fully funded Master’s in teaching at SCSU and certification in the critical shortage areas of Math, Science or Special Education. Fellows commit to teach in New Haven for 3 years after their fellowship.
The Fellowship emerged from the Yale & Slavery Research Project and is one of the commitments Yale made to increase educational access and excellence in the city of New Haven. Historian David Blight initiated the idea, and the Yale Education Studies team: Faculty director Maria Piñango, director Mira Debs, and Woodbridge fellow Peyton Aiken led the Fellowship research and development efforts, in collaboration with partnership organizations and others from the New Haven community.
Applications are now open for the first cohort which will begin May 2025.
