Boston Teacher Residency (BTR), an AmeriCorps program, combines a yearlong classroom apprenticeship with targeted master’s level coursework to provide you with the hands-on experience, feedback, evaluation and ongoing post-graduate support critical to a successful career in teaching.
BTR prepares residents to teach Elementary or Middle/High School content (Math, Science, Computer Science, English). Residents spend the residency year at either the Dudley St. School (elementary) or Dearborn STEM Academy (middle/high), Boston Public Schools and BPE Teaching Academies, before continuing on to teach in Boston Public Schools after graduation.
