BCAY’s Serve The Nations (STN) Team is organizing a Kingdom Cultural Exchange trip to Ghana for Spting break 2013! We will be working very closely with the youth of Living Streams International Church in La, Accra. Together with the youth of the church, STN will be teaching the New Horizon Special School (with handicapped children who need special care), as well as mentoring high school students in an underserved part of the La Township, Ghana. STN will also participate in a annual medical drive, providing free healthcare screenings and signing up people onto the national health scheme, together with healthcare professionals in Ghana and the church. But that’s not all! STN will also explore World Heritage sights and other touristy activities in Ghana! Our motivation for this trip is to fellowship with the church, thereby gleaning the move of God in other parts of the world whilst inspiring the youth of Living Streams to take up the mantle of serving their community! For us, we anticipate that we’ll be impacted and ministered to in such a way that we won’t leave Ghana the same! To learn more, email:metabel.markwei@yale.eduu or efe.ghanney@yale.edu

Boston Teacher Residency
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
