Change Starts in Dallas
Make a difference in one of the nation’s fastest growing cities
Since 2016, City Teaching Alliance Dallas welcomed 370 residents and teachers working in classrooms in nearly 100 schools across Dallas region. We came here to join a collaborative community of educators who are building a pipeline of talented teachers. We serve students in historically underserved and excluded urban classrooms who deserve the expert instruction and passion of teachers who are committed to an impactful career in the classroom.
COMBATING RACIAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC INEQUALITY
More than fifty years after Brown v. Board of Education, American schools remain deeply separate and profoundly unequal. Educational disparities are particularly stark in urban schools where many new teachers arrive with little preparation or support and unable to deal with challenges, they leave. This frequent teacher turnover negatively impacts every aspect of the school, but most critically, children.
Teaching in Dallas
The call to serve in Dallas is urgent: the Dallas region has the third highest child poverty rate in the country and ensuring that public education improves alongside the region’s incredible economic growth is a priority for the whole community. Our residency model is key to improving opportunities for children in a market where education funding, teacher diversity, and quality special education have been hot-button issues. As a City Teaching Alliance participant, you’ll be prepared to teach all of the children in your classroom, especially those with learning differences and whose primary language is not English.
Living In Dallas
There is something for everyone in the Metroplex. The cities celebrate diversity and are home to vibrant communities of creative and passionate people.
City Teaching Alliance Dallas has also partnered with the Apartment Association of Greater Dallas to provide our Residents with access to affordably priced apartments in the Dallas area. This exciting opportunity ensures our aspiring educators have reliable housing and can stay focused on learning to teach in a way that honors and celebrates all children.
