Interested in Becoming a Teacher Resident
A residency program is the best way to enter the classroom, ready to teach on day one.
Learn to Teach
Like doctors training in hospitals, teacher residents spend a full year learning how to be an effective teacher, working alongside an accomplished mentor teacher. With ongoing support, teacher residents train in the district where he/she will launch their teaching career. Successful candidates complete the residency with state certification and a master’s degree. Along the way, teacher residents learn what it means to make a difference in students’ lives from inside the classroom.
