year, participants receive a stipend from Urban Teachers. Starting your second year, you
are the teacher of record and participants begin to receive full teacher's pay. (Teacher
salaries in Baltimore and DC are some of the highest in the nation. Both cities allow an
effective teacher to earn six figures. )
As part of an Urban Teachers cohort in every school, you're never alone. Being with other
Urban Teachers participants provides an immediate network -in your school and in the
thriving -Baltimore, Dallas or Washington, DC. Urban Teachers educators are trusted by

community and civic leaders. Whether you're doing home visits or running into your
student's families at the market, you'll be having an impact on improving the
neighborhood and community you're living in.
