Building Stronger Educator Pipelines 

At City Teaching Alliance, we believe every student deserves a well-supported, highly qualified teacher. We work alongside school districts to build stronger pipelines, improve recruitment and hiring practices, and support early-career educators through strategic consulting, hands-on coaching, and targeted professional learning.

 

“I chose City Teaching Alliance because I know that they do a great job in preparing teachers to lead in schools. Because our school was new, I knew what I was gonna need in terms of grit and resilience and just commitment. There’s just a lot of things that need to be done, and I knew that [City Teaching Alliance] would provide me with people and teachers that were gonna be able to do that quality of work.”

Brandon Johnson, City Teaching Alliance Alum Cohort 2011, Co-Founder and Principal of The Social Justice School in DC

“Finding good teachers has always been a challenge, [especially] finding folks who not only have the skill but also the heart and love for our kids can be difficult. Partnerships with places like City Teaching Alliance really help us to fill that void.”

Christopher Ziemba, Principal at Mastery Charter School, Lenfest Campus
