From reading older entries on this forum and I've what read in a few Google searches it sounds like the fellows program has run into some serious problems in the last few years--specifically recruiting wide eyed eager folks to get to come on board only to have the school system turn around and say thanks but no thanks to the newly minted fellows when it comes to actual teaching jobs.  

I've read about how in the previous year (two groups ago) there was big stink because people were recruited into the program only to then be left without a position... (slightly ironic given that the NYCTF marketing materials imply a desperate need for teachers in NYC when the NYC school system is complaining that it has more teachers than it has teaching positions).  I assume that there is an issue of subject mix here, but that still didn't stop the system from placing a ban on new hires earlier in the year.      

The story told by the older posts on this site sounded quite crazy leading up to the start of summer training and a hiring freeze placed against new candidates such as new NYCTF fellows, but then after that nobody posted anything.  

As someone very interested in the program, I'd like to know what ended up happening with this latest group of new fellows?  Were you able to get teaching positions (I've read the Department of Education allowed a limited number of 'exceptions' to the hiring freeze)?  If not, are you being paid and/or still working in NYC schools?  

Thanks!
