Program Overview

The Prince George’s County Teaching Fellows (PGCTF), an initiative of the Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS), seeks outstanding professionals and recent graduates to become part of this highly-selective program and teach in our county's highest need classrooms. This program is designed to attract the area’s most talented individuals to teach in the schools and subject areas where they can make the greatest impact, improving the academic achievement of Prince George's County's students.

Professionals and recent college graduates from all fields, particularly those with experience in math and science, will bring their experience, knowledge, and records of achievement to the classroom to positively impact the lives of students most in need. Fellows will become part of a powerful network of educational leaders, working with other progressive educators to make systemic improvements in our county's schools.

As a Fellow, you will benefit from a streamlined application and selection process, and if selected, participate in a five week comprehensive summer training prior to teaching.  Fellows will pursue their teaching credential through a partnership with the Maryland Practitioner Teacher Program and a local university- a unique opportunity to earn certification while working full-time. Fellows receive a full-time teacher’s salary with full benefits while pursuing their certification.

PGCTF is committed to providing the students of Prince George’s County with a new group of teachers who will work to increase their academic achievement and help prepare them to find success in school and in life. Join us!
