REP SF

Overview

We believe that our young people deserve futures in this city, committed and excellent educators, and a school system that is made for them. The Rising Educator Pathway of San Francisco (REP SF) supports current San Francisco youth workers and SFUSD alumni of color in becoming educators of and for San Francisco.

REP SF provides concrete resources to participants including:

• • A stipend

  • Professional development and skill-building in youth development and teaching practices

  • A community of youth workers with similar goals

  • 1-on-1 coaching to support you in creating a clear and attainable pathway to a career in Education.

  • (optional) IDST 300: Social Justice Work Experience credit for CCSF

Though the path to earning a college degree and teaching credential can be filled with an array of obstacles (institutional racism, working multiple jobs, supporting families, housing and financial insecurities, etc.), we believe that fully supporting the next generation of educator leaders from and for San Francisco creates a school to liberation pipeline that our communities deserve.

REP SF participants will participate in ten professional development trainings offered over five 3 to 4 hour sessions. This sequence of trainings also includes the creation of an Individual Learning Plan to lay the pathway in actualizing participant's goals of becoming an educator.
