Associate Teacher Fellowship
The Associate Teacher Fellowship is an opportunity to study in a small
cohort with master practitioners at the Progressive Education Institute
(PEI) while teaching at Harlem Village Academies (HVA), a fifteen-year-old
network of charter schools committed to progressive education.
PEI’s methodical coursework and mentoring are grounded in constant
real-world practice and in a rich engagement with a variety of pedagogical
approaches. We understand that becoming a great teacher requires more
than just copying someone else’s playbook of teacher moves; you need to
think for yourself, trying and reflecting and revising, building the same
independence and critical intelligence that you hope to cultivate in your
own students.
The Fellowship is a salaried ($54,000+), full-time teaching position
culminating in a Master of Science in Teaching (MST) with New York State
Initial Certification in Elementary Education and Special Education.

What Makes Us
Different?
1. Put progressive vision into action.
PEI is committed to exquisite instruction.
Our graduate candidates learn how to
spark every student’s intellectual curiosity
and to help them experience the thrill of
deeper learning. Because our objective is
to shape students who are genuinely good
people (not just well-behaved), our
graduate candidates learn how to create a
school culture that cultivates student
independence and leadership.
2. Be prepared for any classroom.
Some programs educate graduate
students to be a particular kind of teacher
for a specific kind of school. At PEI,
graduate students are exposed to a full-
range of research-based best practices
and are prepared to be strong teachers in
any school.
3. Learn in the school where you teach.
Instead of commuting to an unrelated
institution, PEI graduate students are
embedded in classrooms at Harlem Village
Academies. Graduate students and
professors often know and teach the same
students, so learning is never hypothetical
and practice can be adjusted in real time.
Evening classes are online or in walking
distance from where you teach.
