Description

Thank you for your interest in the Master Teacher qualification! As a reminder, this application is only available to Peer Collaborative Teachers (PCTs) who have served for at least one year in the PCT role during their current qualification period. If you did not receive an invitation email to apply to the Master Teacher role from Teacher Career Pathway, you are not eligible to apply at this time.

Note, if you do qualify for the role, your school must receive written approval from your district superintendent to staff a Master Teacher. You will need to speak to your principal to confirm this information, as you will not be listed in Galaxy as a qualified Master Teacher without this approval. Please speak to your principal before applying for this role to ensure this is possible.

If you have any questions, please reach out to us at teacherleadership@schools.nyc.gov
