Pros

As a Math Fellow for one year and a program Assistant Coordinator for one year, I have been directly involved with many facets of the Blueprint Math Fellows program in Denver, CO (which is a different organization than the Denver Math Fellows (DMF)). Pros: - Leadership that is active and makes goals transparent. - Emphasis on building team and cohesiveness - great pathway into teaching if you are not sure about being a classroom teacher. The small groups let you "dip your toe in the water" and get a better sense of whether or not education is right for you.

Cons

- the salary is low, but livable ($21,000). There is a possible $2,000 bonus at the end of the year and second-year Lead Fellows receive a salary of $23,000. - The program is young and can feel disorganized or unfocused. Leadership has made great strides this year to re-focus the goals of the organization as a whole but there are still times when expectations and/or goals seem unclear.

Thank You for Your Service in Oakland Thank you for sharing your experience and for the three years you dedicated to our students in Oakland. It is wonderful to hear that you found your time as a Lead Math Fellow rewarding and that you felt supported by your colleagues. Your commitment played a vital role in helping our students build their math skills and confidence. We appreciate your honesty regarding the daily realities of working in a classroom. Supporting students through the challenges of adolescence requires immense patience and resilience. We aim to ensure our Fellows feel equipped for these moments through ongoing coaching and collaborative team support, and we value the grace you showed in navigating those disruptions to keep the focus on learning. Regarding your feedback on compensation, we understand the importance of balancing mission-driven work with the cost of living, particularly in the Bay Area. We are continuously looking for ways to enhance the overall Fellow experience—including professional development and AmeriCorps benefits like the Segal Education Award—to ensure our team feels valued for the incredible impact they make. Thank you again for your hard work and for being a part of the Blueprint community. We wish you the very best in your next chapter!
