After you submit your application you will hear from us within two weeks with information about whether or not you will be invited to interview at one of our group interview events in Charlotte. A few weeks after your interview, TEACH Charlotte will update you on your status in the program, and you will find out if you are invited to join our 2012 cohort. All participants will need to take and pass the Praxis II exam(s) in their subject area before joining the program.

Our accelerated program begins with a Summer Training Institute from mid-June through early-August. Afterwards, participants will begin teaching in August 2012, receiving the same salary and benefits as all other CMS teachers without experience. Participants will then complete our TNTP Academy, a state-approved licensure program, during their first year in the classroom.
