Rhode Island Teaching Fellows (RITF) is a highly-selective alternate route to teaching certification, specifically designed for outstanding individuals who do not have a background in education but want to become teachers in Rhode Island public schools. We are currently recruiting outstanding and diverse candidates who will have at least a Bachelor’s degree in math, science, English, or a closely related field by June 15, 2010. Teaching Fellows must have a relentless drive to make a difference, a dedication to setting only the highest expectations for themselves and their students, and an ability to thrive on overcoming challenges.

After intensive preparation over the summer, Fellows will begin teaching full-time in the fall of 2010 while pursuing their teacher certification through our Practitioner Teacher Program.

We are accepting applications immediately on a rolling basis. For more information and to apply now, please visit: www.RhodeIslandTeachingFellows.org

Shape the wave of the future. Teach.
