CT Teacher Residency Program
Supporting the CT Teacher Residency Program (TRP) helps to ensure a more diverse teaching staff in schools across Connecticut. Your donations allows us to minimize barriers for future teachers while providing students of color in Connecticut schools to see themselves in their teachers. TRP is an alternate route to elementary certification that embraces a different approach to attract and retain teachers of color (residents) in CT:
- TRP provides hands-on training for underemployed or unemployed adults with a pathway to a lifelong career and economic stability
- Residents participate in courses for 18 months and work with a mentor teacher for one school year while receiving pay and benefits.
- Residents are guaranteed a full-time teaching position upon completion of the program and certification requirements.
TRP is funded through a partnership between local districts, regional service centers, private and public funds. Your investment increases:
- The diversity and inclusion of teachers of color
- The quality and retention of newly hired teachers
- Student achievement in diverse classrooms
