Preparing Teachers
PEF recruits, prepares, and supports exceptional teachers
We provide rigorous preparation through real-world apprenticeship that develops teachers who are ready from day one, and we offer transformative professional development through self-directed global learning experiences that reignite passion and deepen practice.
Our Programs
Teacher Residency
Teacher Residency prepares passionate adults to become highly effective, driven educators through a year-long residency. Earn your teaching license, a stipend, and — if you choose — a Master's degree, all while learning from the best.
Fund for Teachers awards grants of $5,000 for PreK-12 teachers to design and pursue self-directed professional learning experiences anywhere in the world—from studying marine biology in the Galápagos to exploring civil rights history in the American South—bringing transformative knowledge back to their students.
