Educational Leadership (Principalship), MEd
At Teach for America Phoenix we have a goal that by 2030, twice as many children in communities where we work will enroll in college, indicating they are on a path to economic mobility and co-creating a future filled with possibility. We understand that a critical role alumni play is supporting and pursuing this goal as successful school leaders. The Teach For America Phoenix team works with Arizona State University to retain alumni in Arizona and attract alumni from other regions to meet our mutual goal of training exceptional educators to take on leadership roles in Arizona schools.
ASU has committed to offering five Teach For America alumni fully-paid fellowships* for 36 credit hours of graduate-level school leadership coursework in the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College. This application is the process for selecting those five fellows to begin their program in the summer of 2024. You can learn more about the Educational Leadership, MEd.
