Boston Teacher Residency

Boston Teacher Residency (BTR) is a one year, full-time AmeriCorps service program. At BTR, we know that teaching is incredibly hard, complex work. We also recognize the paramount importance of this work for our youth, and have pioneered a model of urban teacher preparation that is designed to carefully recruit and select a diverse cohort of talented individuals who are committed to teaching, and to provide them with an effective, supportive, and affordable pathway to becoming an exceptional educator for Boston's children and families. Since 2003, we've prepared over 500 teachers who are working together across to the city to fulfill what we believe should be a basic promise of our democracy: a quality public education for every child. That promise starts with great teachers.
