The mission of Urban Teachers is to improve educational and life outcomes of children in urban schools by preparing culturally competent, effective career teachers who accelerate student achievement and disrupt systems of racial and socioeconomic inequity. Urban Teachers accomplishes this by recruiting outstanding candidates, equipping them with state-of-the-art training and linking their certification to their demonstration of effective teaching practices and skills. Participants in the Urban Teachers program also receive a Master of Science in Education from the Johns Hopkins University School of Education — a top 10 graduate school of education according to U.S. News and World Report. Founded in 2009, Urban Teachers is on the cutting edge of teacher preparation. Learn more about us at urbanteachers.org
