Want a job that matters?

Share your passion for mathematics with the students of Indianapolis Public Schools.

The Indianapolis Teaching Fellows program is seeking a select group of outstanding professionals to use their mathematics skills to teach middle and high school students.

As mathematical skills become more and more important in a technology-oriented economy, our middle and high school students are falling further behind.

The facts:

• 63% of Indianapolis 10th graders perform below proficiency on the state-wide Mathematics exam.


• Math students taught by a math major average one full year ahead of peers taught by a non-math major. And students in disadvantaged communities—often students with the greatest need for academic intervention—are twice as likely as their counterparts in non-low-income schools to have math teachers with a non-math major or minor.

Through the Indianapolis Teaching Fellows program, professionals and recent college graduates talented in mathematics have the opportunity to improve the quality of mathematics education in Indianapolis. Indianapolis Teaching Fellows will begin teaching full-time in the fall of 2008 while pursuing an Indiana teaching license.   

Benefits of the Fellows program include:

·         The opportunity to share your knowledge and love of mathematics with middle and high school students in challenged schools

·         A network of like minded professionals committed to utilizing their talent in mathematics to ensure the children of Indianapolis receive a high quality education

·         A six-week specialized paid teacher training institute

·         Full-time teachers’ salary and full benefits

·         A fast track application process

·         No previous experience or coursework in education is necessary to apply

·         Master of Arts in Teaching Degree upon completion of the program
