Connecticut Teacher Residency Program
Resident Openings for the 2022-2023 School Year
The Connecticut Teacher Residency Program is an alternate route to elementary certification focused on increasing teachers of color across the state of Connecticut. Resident candidates will be enrolled in rigorous coursework for 18 months and serve in a paid residency position in a mentor teacher’s classroom for the school year. Residents will work in a partnering district and attend classes virtually and on-site in one of our cohort locations in the Hartford, Hamden, Old Lyme, or Trumbull areas.
