The Stanford Teacher Education Program (STEP) is a nationally renowned 12-month full time program preparing future teacher leaders at the elementary and secondary levels. STEP integrates a high quality academic program with a well-supported, yearlong classroom placement.
The online application for the Stanford Teacher Education Program (STEP) is now open. The deadline to submit an application will be January 8, 2021 (11:59pm PST).
The coterm application for current Stanford undergraduates is now open. Please note, requirements for coterms differ slightly from outside applicants so make sure to review the coterminal application requirements page. For additional questions or concerns contact Viviana Alcazar.
The STEP application process gives applicants the opportunity to display their full range of experience, education, and enthusiasm for teaching. We carefully review and consider every application.
STEP, the Graduate School of Education & Stanford University are committed to preparing teachers from wide-ranging, diverse backgrounds. With that commitment in mind, we are offering application fee waivers to first-generation college graduates who are in financial need. Additionally, applicants to the World Languages program are eligible for the fee waiver.
To be considered for the waiver, applicants must complete the fee waiver survey. Applicants need to indicate their commitment to applying to STEP and describe their eligibility in a short paragraph. We have a limited number of fee waivers to allocate this year. We will offer them on a first-come, first-serve basis to eligible applicants.
