Apply now to join the movement.

Click here to see bios of our current Teacher Residents.
The Boston Teacher Residency (BTR) is an innovative program in urban education that combines graduate coursework toward a Masters degree in Education with a yearlong teaching apprenticeship before placement as a full-time teacher in the Boston Public Schools (BPS). We recruit talented, committed individuals of all ages and diverse backgrounds to enter a 13-month Teacher Residency modeled on a clinical teaching hospital approach; residents apply theory to practice, taking rigorous coursework and gaining extensive hands-on, practical experience in the classroom. They then continue to receive formal support and professional development during the first three years and beyond of their teaching careers.
Our mission is to drive significant student achievement gains in Boston through the recruitment, preparation, and support of exceptional teachers. Since 2003, we've graduated over 400 teachers who are working together across to the district toward fulfilling what we believe should be a basic promise of our democracy: a quality public education for every child, no matter what. That promise starts with great teachers.
Program Highlights:
● Co-teach in a collaborative teaching and learning environment under the guidance of experienced Clinical Teacher Educators
● Take coursework taught by exceptional faculty
● Earn a low-cost M.Ed. from University of Massachusetts Boston (UMass Boston), a Massachusetts Initial Teacher license, and credit toward dual license in Special Education or English as a Second Language
● Receive a generous stipend plus health benefits during the residency year
● Receive extensive support during your first three years teaching in the BPS
● Take advantage of our unique tuition remission agreement -- the $10K program tuition is fully waived after completion of a three-year teaching commitment in the Boston Public Schools
