The MƒA DC Master Teacher Program is a five-year program that rewards experienced secondary school mathematics teachers. The program includes stipends and financial support of up to $55,000 over five years, as well as leadership and professional development opportunities.

Years One through Five: Receive training grants and stipends and continue to teach in a Washington, DC public or public charter secondary school.
  • Be eligible for $5,000 in grant money over five years for advanced math coursework at local universities, participation in national mathematics conferences and/or pursuit of National Board Certification
  • Earn an additional $10,000 in stipends each year over five years
  • Teach for at least five years in a public or public charter secondary school in Washington, DC
  • Participate in numerous professional development sessions, including work with less experienced MƒA DC Fellows
  • Contribute to establishing a community of DC mathematics teachers
  • Take on leadership roles with other Master Teachers 

Professional Development

In addition to a training grant that MƒA DC Master Teachers receive for advanced coursework and conferences, Master Teachers participate in at least one professional development workshop each month, generally workshops with a strong mathematics focus.  These workshops are some of the best professional development workshops available in the Washington, D.C. area.  

The Master Teachers collaborate on and present most of these workshops, which are attended by math teachers throughout the D.C. region, giving them the opportunity to guide and mentor less experienced teachers.  These professional development workshops provide math teachers with the learning experiences needed to make a difference for their students, while also helping Master Teachers share their knowledge and resources with the DC educational community.
