Want to make a difference here and now? Then consider being part of the solution by teaching for change as a RTR resident.
RTR is an urban graduate residency to equip you for teaching in city schools, in particular, in Richmond City middle and high schools. We can have an impact, we can change lives, we can turn around statistics here and now - by being the change. This is an opp to be educated as one of the best of the best teachers to serve in an elite public school system. You will learn and grow in a yearlong residency that brings the theory behind effective urban teaching to life. Not only will you benefit from outstanding faculty members and on site master teachers, you will graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) with a Master's of Teaching degree.
Does it get any better than this? It does when you factor in that you will receive a $17,885 stipend, low cost tuition and low cost chic apartment, living with your resident cohort in the heart of Richmond. You will study, grow, teach and play as you learn to be the critical tipping point/change that kids need today. In exchange for your residency, you will serve as the classroom teacher (teacher of record) for Richmond City Public Schools for the next 3 years. During this time, you will be mentored and provided with leadership training for National Board Certification.
Want to really be equipped to make a difference? In this program, you actually are given the opp to teach for change in a fleshed out, real, concrete and mentored way. This is a cutting edge approach to teacher education. A yearlong residency, a MT degree and continued leadership and mentor support as you teach for at least 3 years. It really doesn't get any better than this. Be the change you want to see. Teach for change as part of the RTR program and see kids lives changed, now!
