Math Immersion Program

There is a particularly acute need in the New York City public school system for qualified math teachers. The NYC Teaching Fellows Math Immersion program helps selected candidates who are interested in teaching math (but who did not major in math) gain the credits they need to teach math in the New York City public schools. This program targets individuals who have academic and/or professional backgrounds in math-related fields such as (but not limited to) engineering, finance, or economics. Please note: if you are a math major, you do not need to participate in this program in order to qualify to teach math.

Eligibility for the Math Immersion program is determined on a case-by-case basis; however, you must

a)    have a math-related major or degree; 

b)    have math-related work experience (in an area such as finance, economics, or engineering) AND have earned a B-minus or better in at least one college-level calculus course; OR

c)    have earned a B-minus or better in at least three college-level math courses.

Applicants who are interested in participating in Math Immersion should indicate their interest when applying.
