TEACHER TRAINING BOOT CAMP

The Center for Urban Teaching is now accepting applications for our intensive summer teacher training internship portion of our program for the summer of 2025! Please note, this internship is just a part of our overall program. Completion of our entire program requires participation in our summer school teacher training internship in addition to tours, networking, and professional development opportunities that will provide undergrads with the experience and exposure necessary to become top notch teachers by the time they are placed in their first year of teaching in the classroom.

Qualifying candidates are currently enrolled in college as UNDERGRADS or recently graduated with a degree (BA, MBA). If you do not have your degree or are not enrolled in college, you can still apply to the program. If selected, you will receive up to $4,000 as a scholarship paid directly to the university you choose to attend in lieu of the stipend.

If you are enrolled in college already, or have a Bachelor's or Master's Degree already, you will have the OPTION of either a paid stipend (paycheck) OR elect to have your payment used as a scholarship paid directly to the university you are enrolled at.

Qualifying candidates also possess the following qualities:

• Christ-Centered
• Courageous
• Dedicated to High Performance
• Respectful
• Persevering
• Coachable

During this internship, you will join over 200 teacher and leader candidates from over 80 universities and have the opportunity to impact over 1,800 scholars at approximately 20 school site locations in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Racine, Wisconsin areas.

Teachers will be required to block out approximately 8 to 10 hours daily between 7:00AM and 5:30PM. (Start and end times will vary between teacher training and when students are in attendance. Modifications to this schedule must be approved by CfUT Staff or Summer School Leadership teams)

• Teachers engage in two weeks of intensive training that focus on three important elements: building a positive school culture, high-performance instructional strategies, and character development. Through these three lenses, teachers are trained on strategies that build trust while setting and maintaining high-behavioral expectations, instructional strategies that ensure teachers plan and deliver data-driven lessons that foster student engagement, and a process for character development that helps teachers, leaders, and students explore their personal identity and purpose as it relates to their performance. There is also an immense amount of team building in which everyone learns how to work together and how to build strong relationships with one another.
