Teachers who bring diverse perspectives and experiences are needed in schools across the Syracuse area. We know that teachers from different backgrounds have an essential impact on their students and schools. The Baldanza Fellows Program is dedicated to recruiting, developing, and retaining applicants committed to serving underserved and underrepresented students to become exceptional and motivated teachers in Syracuse area K-12 schools through School of Education master’s degrees that lead to initial teacher certification.
The Baldanza Fellows Program supports highly qualified and motivated future teachers who are committed to serving underserved and underrepresented students to earn New York teacher certification and become transformational educators in Syracuse area schools. In a 16-month master’s program, you’ll get intensive experience in local partner schools, develop a community cohort of fellow educators, link classroom theory to daily practice and receive personal and real-time mentoring from a support team of University and community teachers and leaders.
