Profile: Baltimore City Teaching Residency

The Baltimore City Teaching Residency is an alternate certification program committed to helping outstanding professionals enter the Baltimore City Public School System and begin teaching in our city’s public schools. Professionals from all fields will bring their experience, knowledge, and records of achievement to the classroom to positively impact the lives of the students who need them the most. Residents will become part of a powerful network of educational leaders and work with other progressive educators to make systemic improvements in our city's schools - classroom by classroom. As a Resident, you will pursue your teaching credential with the Maryland Practitioner Teacher Program and at either Johns Hopkins University or The College of Notre Dame; attend a comprehensive training prior to teaching; get paid a teacher’s salary with full benefits; and have access to tuition assistance, home ownership programs, and student loan deferral or forgiveness programs. The Baltimore City Teaching Residency is currently recruiting and selecting an exemplary cohort to begin teaching in our Summer 2008 program during the Fall of 2008. These Resident Teachers will complete an intensive Training Institute during June/July of 2008 and enter Baltimore City classrooms at the start of the 2008-2009 school year. Currently, we are accepting positions for this program. If you or someone you know has always wanted to pursue teaching and is committed to increasing the achievement of students across the city of Baltimore, please visit our website, www.bcteachingresidency.org.
