The Graduate School of Education, a co-educational, non-sectarian unit, is one of 17 schools and divisions comprising Yeshiva University. Since last summer it has featured the Teaching Fellowship Program, a highly experimental teacher training program launched with the aid of a $500,000 grant by the Ford Foundation’s Fund For the Advancement of Education. Designed to attract top-quality liberal arts graduates into the teaching profession, the program provides graduates with the opportunity to earn while they learn.
